Munro launches the moving floor trailer

Lancashire based trailer manufacturer, Munro Commercials, is of the firm belief that better health and safety standards can help to make inroads in the asphalt tipper market. However, they feel that it can only be achieved only with its new moving floor HGV / LGV vehicles.

According to John Draper, the sales and demonstration coordinator with Munro Commercials, the aluminium triaxle HGV / LGV is a lot safer compared to other HGV vehicles. The body of the HGV does not need to be raised unlike other vehicles. This prevents any roll-over accidents. The vehicle also does not get stuck in any overhead cables.

Such moving floor HGV / LGVs can be used in quarries or any sort of road building projects. Tipper trailers are banned from such road building projects. According to John Draper, the moving trailer can easily carry a load of around 28 tonnes. However, this is not possible with an eight wheeler.

This brand new moving floor trailer is around 10.26m long and has a full-length chassis. This particular trailer also utilises a Keith Running Floor II as well, which is controlled via a wireless handheld control. The moving trailer weighs around 7,800 kg. Moreover, the trailer is provided with an optional Munro Universal Cleanout system. This system helps users to remove debris and curb any cross-load contamination.
