BOALLOY'S exhibit at the Frankfurt Show is a Tautliner Cu' sided body mounted on a Van Hool semi-trailer.
It was built to the order of TIP Trailer Rentals by a French bodybuilder.
The tri-axle semi-trailer has an unusually shallow neck so as to give the body as much cubic capacity as possible. One feature specially aimed at German buyers is the body's French-designed sliding roof support pillars. Another is the moulded nylon housings for the stainless steel buckles.
Unlike most European-built Tautliners this model has a standard Boalloy front bulkhead with the latest lockable curtain tensioner mechanism. THE FIRST Quinton Hazel derider to be fitted to a converted to a 38-tonne tr has been supplied to Leg, Transport on contract to Sugar Corporation.
This particular Underic the "kick-back" version allows the cross-bearr drop-arm assembly to kid on encountering any ob while the vehicle is tray forwards.
OH claims that this ft makes the Underider Kid particularly suitable for ye on rough ground.
