• Craven Tasker has supplied Swedish removal firm Kinnarps with the first of 20 step-welled bodies for an unusual demounting operation.
The semi-trailer bodies run in paired double-bottom fashion with an air-suspended SAF-axled interconnecting bogie. These couple via a fifth wheel-type arrangement with a secondary locating pin. To manoeuvre them on site the bogie is lowered then removed and the front trailer body is moved on rollers at the rear of the step section.
Kinnarps uses Volvo FL6's with a short 2.8m wheelbase, that accommodates the 1,600mm pin. The bodies have their air couplings set neatly under the bulkhead and landing legs stow on springloaded frames.
