This 15,000kg gross weight (3000 x 2400mm bed) unit was built in conjunction with a 10,000kg unit for a local valve manufacturer. They were experiencing problems when moving large castings and fabrications around the factory and into the x-ray department. The units were designed and built to alleviate this problem.
Both are fitted with hydraulic brakes to cope with the weight. The tow truck used didn't offer a braking system for the platform, so working in conjunction with a local hydraulic company, we were able to offer a braking package for the towing vehicle for increased safety.

This 10,000kg gross weight, 32' platform trolley, was built to move large, pre-fabricated buildings around our customer's yard. It uses a ladder framework chassis to give a strong yet light weight structure. The turntable at the front is restricted to a 45 degree turn to keep the unit stable over rough ground. The unit has increased our customer's productivity while making movement of the buildings a much safer operation.
To date, the largest unit of this style is 42', with a 12,000kg gross to carry a navy canteen capable of housing 50 men at a time.

The platform trolley pictured (4000 x 2000mm bed) has a 10,000kg gross weight and is an example of the close collaboration between the customer and the design staff at Taylor's Trailers. The unit has been designed for the transportation of oil centrifuges. The steelwork on the top of the body holds wooden saddles which support the centrifuge in the necessary position. A spare unit was held on the trailer until the centrifuge in use needed servicing. The two units were swapped over to keep down time to a minimum.
