Greetings,again.
Ref. the landing gear on Shell trailers,none of them had it. It must have saved quite a bit of weight and trailers were rarely swapped so there was not much point in fitting it. Dropping a trailer on rare occasions was facilitated by using a custom built dolly that fitted under the landing gear brackets.Regards,900x20.Sorry,your wrong on that statement im afraid,at Teesport very few of our trailers werent fitted with legs,
I recall Shell Fodens delivering derv into our yard and they had what I term the mini super singles on the double drive bogie, same size as those used on our Tri axle flats. Their trailers were all tandem axle and some were on the big super singles, the equivalent of twin wheels. Cheers Bewick.
