New Trailer from Wilcox Commercial Vehicles
Peterborough based Wilcox Commercial Vehicles will be back at SED 2011. The company is renowned as aluminium body builders in the field of commercial vehicles, covering a range of different rigid and tipping trailer designs.
Wilcox has recently developed a walking-floor asphalt and aggregates trailer. The unit has Keith 'V' walking floor system with nine steel 'planks' and a sloping bulkhead that moves with the load. This enables the payload to be expelled in four minutes but to cope with discharging into a paver, the walking floor can be controlled by a banksman or the paver operator using an infra-red remote control.
The bulkhead is retracted by a hydraulic winch which is also remote controlled, as is the sheeting system.
By using a lightweight Montracon full length steel chassis and insulated aluminium sides, Wilcox has been able to maintain a payload of 28t to 28.5t depending on the tractive unit employed.Wilcox Commercial Vehicles
