• Felixstowe-based Tracto has acquired a batch of 11 multipurpose tri-axle Montracon moving-bogie skeletal trailers capable of accommodating 6.1, 9.1 or 12.2m (20, 30 or 40ft) containers. They incorporate the Multi-Mode bogie slider design, Weweller's AC131 air suspension and RO-R 9.0-tonne axles.
To allow rear-end unloading, twist-locks swing down to allow the box to move to the end of the chassis.
An air-assisted locking device is included for centrally mounted containers; other features include a lifting front axle, dump facility for dock loading and 65aspect 22.5in tyres.
Tare weights are near identical to a tandem, mechanically sprung unit, allowing Tracto to run 3+3 combinations in readiness for 44-tonne legislation.
