TRAILER MANUFACTURER Schmitz Cargobull has launched a new range of products in the UK.
On the trailer front the Mega comes with specially developed wide-single tyres from Dunlop; they help achieve an internal height of three metres. It also offers a dual-height function that allows the internal height to be adjusted. This allows it to be driven at fifth wheel heights of 950 and 1,150mm.
Other developments include the SKI 24 SL 7.2 AK, a threeaxle lightweight tipper trailer weighing less than five tonnes. Its newly developed lightweight steel chassis means it can accommodate an extra 260kg in payload.
The company is also producing its own running gear for the first time. Rotos will be sold as a complete package comprising axles, brakes and suspension. All components are supplied by other manufacturers but jointly developed with Schmitz. Rotos will be fitted as standard on all its trailers and semi-trailers.
