ARANGE Of semi-trailers is now in full production at Highway Trailers (Great Britain) Ltd. Straight-frame models consist of 10and 12-ton singleaxle units, a 15-tonner with British Trailer. Co. Ltd. Four-in-Line running gear, and a tandem-axle 16-tonner. In addition, there are 10and 16-ton, step-frame models and drop-frame 10-, 12and 16-tonners.
On the 10-ton straight-frame semitrailer, the main frame is of rolled steel whilst pressed-steel side-members arc used on the 12-ton flat and I6-ton tandem. The side-members are pierced to receive full-width cross-members. In the case of the 15-ton Four-in-Line, the sidemembers are fabricated 1-section beams and this design will be employed on the 16-tanner eventually. The stepand drop-frame models are of conventional all-welded, rolled-steel construction.
