III Van Hool has launched three tri-axled curtainsiders on to the UK market via its recently established base at Essex Trailers in Thu rrock, Essex.
The trio comprises the sliding roof Euroliner (first seen in September at the Hanover show); the standard Light-Liner curtainsider; and a T1R tilt version.
The Light-Liner and the tilt share a neck design which, at 160nun, is shallower and has less fabrication than previous models. It also features a narrower lead-up surface ahead of the rubbing plate and aluminium side guards, rear underrun and omega profiles over the longitudinal beams.
The Euroliner weighs in at 6,950kg; the tilt version at 6,200kg; and the LightLiner at 6,120kg.
One of the first UK users of the Light-Liner is trailer rental and leasing giant TIP which has placed 25 under contract to John Raymond Transport (JRT) of Bridgend, South Wales. JRT specialises in work for insulation supplier Rockwool.
Service back-up for Van Hoof's UK sales operation is provided by Essex Trailers, which is also the main spares supplier.
