• A 13,6m ejector semitrailer built by Ejectors (UK) of Smethwick is going into service with waste transport specialists Porters of Waltham Cross, Herts.
With a capacity of 76.5m3, it is fitted with a six-stage RK222 Edbro ram, a hydraulically powered rear door operated by controls mounted on the front bulkhead, and a nose-mounted donkey engine.
Ejectors says it takes 165 seconds for the load to be ejected and 135 seconds for the ram to retract back into jposition.
The all-steel trailer, which has 3mm sides and a stmm floor, is one of a pair destined for Porters. It offers a maximum payload of 20 tonnes when running with a 6x4 tractor at 38 tonnes and runs on SAF axles with a front lift axle.
