Anyone know anything about the trailers that Maes use , looks like they split in half,Thx Karl
I think they use the 2nd trailer in this blog
Not the trailer i mean jimti, if you look at the step frame trailers they use it looks like they split in half, i do removals like you so a trailer like that may make life easier for me, my boss wont spring for a draw bar even though that is the best type of vehicle to use i have to drag a 45ft door to door, not ideal
I know what you mean Karl, these trailers are similar to those european skellies that can be split to deliver two 20" boxes.
On the road there are one or two axles in the middle of the trailer, lifted up out of the way. Then your normal three axles at the rear end.
I think I saw one of those skellies split, the rear half has a huge long box section which must be about 12 - 15 foot long sticking out of the front, which obviously goes into the front half to keep the whole trailer rigid and is pinned in to tie it all together.
Ok after a bit of Googleing I have found out what it is called, just do a search for “split Nooteboom trailer” and you will find it two examples can be found here
Box van trailers that split in two like those container chassis are made by Van Eck in NL (well, maybe by some other companies too, but I only know of this one).
But, they seem to be a bit longer, to Dutch specs, you probably wouldn’t fit into 16.5m.
However, I don’t think it should be a major problem to built a plywood box/-es on a split cont skelly.
OK , I got it wrong, the van Eck combo is a B-double.
But now I know what you are after, this:

right?
Those split cont chassis… I am not 100% sure, but I wouldn’t say Nooteboom ever made them, they are into lowloaders…
Broshuis makes them for sure.
Right. Next, nothing to do with MAES but to do with Belgium.
I have seen this many many times, always when I haven’t had a camera with me.
Have you seen a Tipper Trailer with a Fridge Motor on the front, now this is not like an asphalt trailer which is just insulated but looks like that.
There is normally one comes to England on the train on Saturday Morning with a fit bird in the passenger seat. I have never had chance to ask or being too busy staring at the fit bird 
All I can think is that it may be something used for Offal or something but it looks too clean and doesn’t smell like Prosper De Mulder trucks.

Yup, thats the trailers.
The split container chassis, D-tec make them, I’m not sure who else does, but if Len Rogers says it’s a Nooteboom I wouldn’t argue.
I don’t remember ever seeing a tipper like that Wheel Nut, not that I’d be looking out for one. Tippers ain’t my thing at all.
Well done all, But Homerfaber has found the one i have seen Thx to all
