El Cartwright, in consultation with TI)G Williams, has produced a curtain-sided triaxle semi-trailer with an unladen weight of 5,500kg.
The Cartwright Superlite uses high-yield steel with a greater than normal manganese content and features steel floor bearers and side raves, an alloy plank floor, aluminium wheels and a BPW lightweight triaxle suspension.
TDG Williams is testing one of the Superlites as part of a 100-strong trailer order.
If the trial is successful it plans to buy eight more.
