• Wisbech Bulk Systems is best known for its aluminium tipping body systems hut it also produces lightweight and specialist trailer chassis.
One example, an all alumini. utn-chassisecl curtainsider that tares out at 6,120kg, has entered the fleet of .Kings Lynn international haulier Peter Carter. It's the second in his colours.
Chassis rails and the tubular cross-members are all aluminium; Lawrence David has added its flexibly mounted all bolted curtained body with Wisadeck covering the 13.6m floor.
An unsupported roof enables Carter to fork lift loads along the whole side.
The air-suspended tri-axles, including a front lifter, are RO-R with 385/65 22.5s on steel rims.
Carter double shifts his twinsteer Scania curtainsider rigs: "I get 24 tonnes on six axles, five on air," he says, "so I'm more than pleased with these outfits."
