And one good reason why, is that others follow Crane Fruehauf's design lead, but CF 'flats' still remain the best buy for safety, quality and economy.
Crane Fruehauf's wealth of experience built up over millions of road miles, their resources of technical know-how, and their impressive engineering skills combine to make a CF 'flat' unique. For example, just look at some of the features from the CF specification :
* All-fabricated '11-beam construction—with cross-members threaded right through— to make the trailer light, strong and low; * Fast-acting braking system perfectly balanced, and with twoor three-line air pressure systems, and radius rods for better road-holding ; * High-speed low-effort operation of landing gear, incorporating the famous CF square leg supports—two-speed gearbox standard; * Small, neat and powerful winch-type handbrake with quick release action.
And of course CF 'flats' incorporate the famous Crane Fruehauf 'F'-type suspension, with its load equaliser and positive axle location on low mounted radius rods, to eliminate wheel hop and make axle alignment easier. All moving parts are rubber insulated requiring no lubrication— meaning less maintenance, more profits!
As for range, take your pick from: * CF `Lightleader' 10/12 tons; * CF 11-oadleader' single-axle 12/15 tons; * CF 'Fleetleader' tandem-axle 16/22 tons; * CF Maxileader' tri-axle for up to 32 tons GTW.
All available in a variety of lengths to suit any load, and each one backed up by a top-class service network of CF and associate Fruehauf depots throughout Europe and the UK.
Give your fleet the class it deserves—give it Crane Fruehauf flat platform semi-trailers for safety, economy and quality.
