• A straight-frame semitrailer, with 100m3 of load space has been developed by York and is on trial with a Dutch operator.
The air-suspended, tri-axle tilt, called Colossus, can meet the Continental 4.0m height res triction when hauled by a tractive unit equipped with low fifth wheel, says York. It can also run level at 4.2m high when hitched to a conventional tractor by using a long-travel suspension bogie mounted on wide chassis main rails.
