• Hill Hire has placed a Ym order for 100 of Montracon's latest sliding-bogie skeletal trailers. The lightweight design weighs just 4,600kg on IRPW axles and disc brakes, putting it in competition with GT Fruehauf's new Multiliner CM6-12 April), The high-tensile steel design accommodates containers from 20-45ft. Montracon's sales and marketing director, Chris Curzon, promises further reductions in weight.
It won't be a small reduction," he says, adding that the trailer "will be the lightest on the market—without a doubt".
More than 90% of Montracon's trailer customers prefer disc brakes, and Curzon adds that operators are "looking for trailers that are immensely more flexible—trailers that can do three or four different contracts".
Many want specially adapted vehicles, and Montracon has seconded several engineers from its Dutch-based sister company, Pacton, to act as special project managers.
