Trailer manufacturing
company, Martin Trailer
Company, has introduced
new 4-axle RGN 55
removable gooseneck
trailers, most of which are
custom-designed according
to client specifications.
“The new trailers can
be used for abnormal
machinery loads, including
excavators, articulated
dump trucks and
bulldozers,” said managing
director Patrick Gore. He
added that the company’s
trailers typically featured
a higher payload and
lower tare weight than
competitor units.
He noted that Teichman
Plant Hire, an earth
moving equipment
provider, had recently
taken delivery of a new
RGN55 4-axle trailer
together with an HD 50
single-axle dolly. Gore
said that Teichmann had
historically used folding
gooseneck trailers.
“Teichmann listed
precise specifications for
their trailer, including
the need to take the unit
cross-border and having
to comply with the height
and payload stipulations
in southern and central
Africa where the trailer will
be operated,” commented
Gore.
Logistics manager for
Teichman, Sean Devine,
pointed out that Martin
Trailer Company’s
experience, and the fact
that it has a facility for
servicing and repairing
equipment, was the
deciding factor in ordering
the unit from the company.
“Added to this, the
aftersales department offers
an on-the-road service and
repair team that can be
dispatched for any urgent
requirement,” said Brett
Nicolay, group plant
manager for Teichmann.
