• Wilson Double-Deck Trailers is suing Craven Tasker for allegedly infringing its low-floor suspension patent in an order of six double-deck trailers supplied to Argos Distribution.
The dispute erupted after Craven Tasker delivered the trailers four months ago and centres on a wheel-mounting assembly designed to take a low floor double or single-deck trailer body.
Northern Ireland-based Wil son has been building the design for eight years and was granted a European patent for it in 1988. It has issued a writ against Doncaster-based Craven Tasker, which has indicated its intention to defend the case.
Neither parties would comment further on the dispute. It could be about two years before it goes to court. Meanwhile, the trailers in question are running on general haulage work at some Argos Distribution sites.
