The MHE that your business requires will vary depending on a variety of different factors. Today we continue our Back-To-Basics series with a focus on Trailers.
What Are Trailers?
Trailers are an accessory which you can connect to a range of machines including tugs and vehicles. They are designed to take the weight of the load and enable you to transport heavy and awkward cargo easily and improve your manual handling safety.
Types Of Trailers
There are a variety of MHE trailer types which could benefit your business. These include bespoke, enclosed, industrial platform, castor steer and modular docking trailers. Each of the styles have their own specific features to help boost the efficiency of your business operations.
Bespoke Trailer
Otherwise described as custom trailers, bespoke trailers are specialist equipment, designed to handle specific tasks safely and efficiently. They feature enhancements to tackle more challenging loads or weight capacities, or are tailored to function better in particular environments.
Enclosed Trailer
An enclosed trailer is designed to protect your cargo while it is being transported. It can be a custom design, built to specific criteria to protect your high-value loads, or it can feature a simple cage-like, protective enclosure.
Industrial Trailer
An industrial trailer is a heavy–duty piece of materials handling equipment designed to withstand the weight of heavy loads and be towed from one location to another. These can be found across a broad range of industries including warehouses, airports and construction sites.
Castor Steer Trailers
Equipped with swivelling castor wheels, these are industrial trollies capable of rotating in tight spaces. Their castor wheel design makes them a highly efficient addition to your MHE fleet thanks to their ability to operate in sight spaces.
Modular Docking Train System Trailer
Featuring interchangeable docks which be connected with varying platform types, this type of trailer provides you with excellent versatility. It allows you to connect different platform types to suit specific loads, and you can link them in a train system. This linked system of units can then be easily transported using a ride-on tractor or pedestrian tug.
