• DHL's Nliddle Eastern operation SNAS has taken the first six of a new range of 13.5m TIR curtainsider trailer from Boalloy.
Based on M&G chassis, the design incorporates swinging rear corner pillars with swingout roof supports and a Hydraroll floor. This simplifies the rear loading/ unloading of the two 6.10x2.44m (20x8ft) bonded goods aircraft co ntainers, TIR sealing includes short fold-down roof flaps and drop sides. To help the driver fix the top cable Boalloy has added a rear ladder and roof-top chequer plate walkway.
Load control is via full-length horizontal meshing and a throw over net with floor fastenings for loose parcels.
The trailers use aluminium wheels as standard, including a pair of spares and run on tandem RO-R air sprung axles.
