trailer design increases carrying capacity by accessing otherwise unused underfloor space between the king pin and rear axles.
A recent redesign has enabled the SOMI trailer to carry either 34 UK pallets,42 euro pallets or 84 roll cages— a 30% increase on the 26 pallet, 32 Euro norm.
The latest self-loading version, built again by Paneltex of Hull uses a roller bed and features SOM1's pneumatic scissor-lift mechanisms.
Potentially, the system can cut operating costs, drivers' hours, emissions and turnaround time says md Pauline Dawes. But proof of the pudding is when three trips replace four, and when fewer loading crews and less fuel are used. Trials are continuing. Contact: Pauline Dawes Tel: 01724 852113
