You’re not alone with that one!!

“Kempston” Forgive my ignorance here Pete but I have zero knowledge about these trailers, so you arrive at the first customer, you split the trailer and go off to the next customer with the other container, so does this mean you have to go back to the first customer to retrieve the first trailer? Who owns the trailers, the container company or the transport company?
In my experience of running them, either you had 2 x 20’ boxes for the same place, and you could deliver the contents of both in one visit or, alternatively, tip one, and then drop off the back half of the trailer at the delivery point for the front box. In Europe, the trailer belongs to the haulier, although there’s a tradition in the U.S. of the lines owning their own trailers (or “chassis” as they call them) and hiring in traction.
The one in the photos above was a Nöteboom, and here’s one of their brochure photos of the time:
I did go up to Dennison at Lancaster around 2005 to have a look, as they were starting to produce a cheaper copy, a whole £10,000 cheaper. We did run one from a rental fleet for quite a while, and it did the job. The Dennison we ran was on 4 axles, but our first two Combitrailers were on 5, with the steering rear axle
Another bonus of the Combitrailers was that, being from mainland Europe, they were spec’d to run at 4m, and you would reduce the running height considerably, with a marked improvement in fuel consumption
Thanks for the comments and pics Chris,good stuff chap.
With the extra axles on the trailers what was the payload ?
