TATEST vehicle transporter to be added 1-d to the range of "RM" Trailers Ltd., is model 4P50W, which has a carrying capacity of 2.5 tons, and a platform 7 ft. by 14 ft. The tops of the tyres on this model protrude through the deck allowing adequate tyre sizes to be used. At the same time, deck height is reduced to only 2 ft., and loading is further facilitated by the rear end of the trailer, down-swept to a height of 1 ft. 6 in., with two long ramps.
The trailer deck and ramps consist of galvanized expanded metal suitably reinforced underneath, but if required full decking in hardboard can be supplied.
Independent rubber suspension is used, and 10 in. brakes operated in basic form, from the overrun are fitted (with the option of vacuum or air-servo) and obtainable in single or 3-line systems to conform to the new braking regulations.
Made by: "RM" Trailers Ltd., New Farm Road, Alresford, Hants.
