• A new maintenance and service depot of Crane Fruehauf Trailers Ltd is located at Stakehill Industrial Estate, Middleton, eight miles north of Manchester; it is adjacent to M62 which is due to be opened in the near future. The depot is equipped with a large parts store and workshop to provide comprehensive repair, conversion and service facilities for all types and makes of tractive unit, trailer, semi-trailer, van, tanker and container. It is one of 19 Crane Fruehauf/Boden depots operated by the company.
Complete stripping and rebuilding is undertaken and vehicles can be converted to bring them into line with the latest regulations. Single-axle semi-trailers can be equipped with tandem axles and chassis lengthened to enable an incresed payload to be carried. Vehicles are brake-tested on equipment comparable to that employed in DoE test centres.
