Each trailer has only 75mm over the kingpin, giving a floor height of 1,050mm. Air-operated hydraulic ramps save weight compared with fitting electrohydraulic power packs.

With sloping decks and beaver tails the tandem-axlecl trailers tare out at 7,200kg enabling each to carry two bucket loaders within C8a.1 regulations.
