• The first of RO-R's latest lndair Offset suspensions with extra low ride height, have been fitted on two semitrailers by Tidd Trailers for the BBC in Manchester.
Both vehicles are 3.2m high GRP step deckers with horsebox-type tailgates and pantechnicon-like interiors for shifting scenery.
The tandem axle and suspension layout weighs 1,012kg and allows Tidd to build-in a 1,500mm gap between the wheelboxes.
By using the suspension's lift/lower facility, its 150mm ride height can be lowered to 100mm to give a very shallow loading angle.
Tidd has also recently supplied a pair of GRP double decked semi's for a BRS contract customer.
The 13.35 tri-axle units with one tonne Ross and Bonnyman tail lifts have special 32mm GRP/aluminium outer skinned heat-resistant roof panels.
They will be used by East Anglian Kear Bakery in Starbake livery.
