Another Scania of Carefoot’s with a good payload for a bulk trailer,seen on the A44 Kington bypass.

Those trailers must be flimsy, Dave? Our day cabbed Fodens (with low SDC agg trailers) get 29.8. Has to be said they used to get 30 before they had Quiksilver liners fitted. Loss of payload’s offset with less downtime repairing the floors.

I would imagine the trailers would be OK with Carefoot’s.They recently had i2 of these new Scania’s,so they wouldn’t skimp on trailers.
As some of the hauliers say every kilo counts.
Cheers Dave.
