• Two British companies making a special effort in the European market have announced their plans for sizeable displays at the Frankfurt Show which opens on September 13. Cravens Industries Sales Ltd is showing a big selection of products made by Taskers Trailers and Cravens Homalloy, and Edbro is showing lightweight steel tipping bodies with three-way hydraulic hoists.
Highlight of the Cravens Homalloy exhibits will be a 40ft TIR tilt semi-trailer with PVC /nylon reinforced tilt; also on display will be a 24ft Taskcrs skeletal and a 20ft Cravens Homalloy steel container. The skeletal, designed to meet German regulations and plated for 25.6 tonnes gross trailer weight, has Schulz non-retractable ISO twistlocks.
Taskers" new Taskalastik all-rubber sus
pension, suitable for all types of trailer application, will be exhibited. The rubber bonded suspension units are mounted in a fabricated lightweight high-tensile steel assembly, the axles being secured to the suspension articulating beams by U-bolts which clamp around rubber bonded bushes.
Germany is traditionally a "three-waytipper" market, which is why Edbro have used three-way gear on the Show vehicles.
Both the bodies have a full top roll, welded, at top and bottom of the pressed steel sides to prevent entry of water and inhibit rusting. Other body features are spring assistance for raising the one-piece dropsides, rubber-seal anti-rattle fittings, and a built-in prop to support the body when the centrally mounted spare wheel needs to be reached.
