The firm says it has a payload of 38.3 tonnes and a gross weight of 62 tonnes... (Picture from goldhofer )* UK - S&J double lifting axle trailers reduce rolling resistance and save money
Melton Mowbray,Leicestershire,UK -Transport Engineer, by Brian Tinham -11 Aug 2010: -- S&J European Haulage says it has added new double-deck SKO Express dry freight box trailers from Schmitz Cargobull to its fleet, because their lower rolling resistance saves money... The tri-axle semi-trailers are being used to transport adhesives between the UK and Belgium, andexplains they were specified with front and rear lifting axles that remain raised when the trailers are not fully laden... That, S&J transport manager Mark Turner says, reduces rolling resistance dramatically when lighter loads are in transit – helped by the fitment of Michelin X One MaxiTrailer tyres... In operation, these trailers run on the single axle, but sensors prompt the front and/or rear axles to drop down as weight is added. This feature ensures that any load is evenly distributed over the optimum number of axles, and that the trailers are compliant with UK and European regulations...
