Carrimore Six Wheelers Ltd, Harelaw Industrial Estate, Stanley, Co. Durham THREE semi-trailers are shown on the Carrimore stand—a conventional flat platform unit, a skeletal container carrier and the new Mark VI car transporter.
The car transporter is one of the first six built by the firm for Cartransport (BRS) Ltd. It 'complies with the latest C and U Regulations and it has a total overall length of 15 metres (49ft 2.5in.) coupled to its AEC Mercury tractive unit. It has an upper and lower deck, the upper deck being raised and lowered for loading and offloading by the well-tried Carrimore hydraulic rams and knee-action link mechanism. The lower deck is extended during loading by two pull-out ramps which, when the upper deck is lowered form the ramp for that also.
A tandem-aided bogie is used, mounted on single-formation 9.00-20, 14-ply tyres. The bogie has slipper-ended leaf springs with the axles located by rubber-bushed radius rods.
A tandem-axled skeletal designed for 26-ton gross trailer weight is shown featuring a pierced main-frame construction. The main-frames are 16 x 5.51n. I-beams and the trailer is 33ft long. There are eight ISO twistlocks positioned to accept 20ft or 30ft long containers. An antihop tandem suspension with slipper-ended leaf springs is used. Axles are of 20,000lb capacity and carry 16.5 x 7in. brake units powered through S-cams and a three-line pressure system. The vehicle is equipped with 10.00-20.16-ply tyres and it has singlespeed landing gear.
The general-cargo trailer shown is mounted on air suspension, one of the very few seen at this exhibition, and features a frame assembly of the same design as the skeletal with cross-members pierced through the webs of the main frame. The floor is boarded longitudinally in halflapped hardwood and a fabricated pressedsteel headboard is boarded in softwood. Similar axle and brake-gear to that used on the skeletal trailer is fitted, but in this case the brakes are 8.625in. wide and eight double-convoluted air bellows form the suspension with the axles located in position by parallel links and Panhard rods.
