Technical Information
Safety Trailers are fabricated in an ISO 9001 certified steel fabrication facility using the latest techniques to ensure that every Safety Trailer meets a wide range of quality criteria.
All steel surfaces are treated with high performance red-oxide primer and finished with a protective hardshell topcoat to ensure maximum rust protection is maintained. Safety Trailers can be finished in any colour specified by the client.
Each Open Cradle Safety Trailer is a 6m x 2.9m x 1.35m high stillage (cradle) that is attached to a flatbed trailer via the Twist Locking systems used for containers. Two of these stillages can be placed end to end on a flatbed leaving a 1.3m wide access zone at the front of the trailer.
Each stillage is made from steel square hollow section stanchions and cross members.
A standard flat-bed trailer can carry four of these cradles as they have been designed to stack one on top of the other. They are connected by corner spigots locating inside the square hollow section stanchions.
Once stacked, the top of the higher stillage represents the maximum transportable height for UK roads (4.51m) giving a great visual reference to ensure no load exceeds this height.
