Visitors to the Southfields/Krone stand will be able to see an unusual all-composite trailer chassis called Roadlite. The 10m-long tandemaxle trailer, built by Vesper Thorneycroft and Southfieids, can be fitted with anybody according to Southfields, and supplied in 13.6m form.
The 2.5m wide composite frame consists of a single moulded unit made up from a polyester/glass mixture which varies in thickness between 2.5 and 10mm, depending on load requirements.
The 150mm thick neck is reinforced with hollow carton fibre sections extending to a 'step' profile that runs beneath the cargo area. Conventional cross members sit between neck and rear frame . Side raves are reinforced by hard foam.
