BCL unveils Mega Max scrap trailer

BCL Commercials has introduced its latest import, a Polish-made Mega Max scrap trailer.

The Mega brand is part of the French-owned Benalu Group and the 55cu m capacity scrap trailer is the newest model being sold by distributor BCL, which unveiled it at RTX.

BCL Commercials has recently been appointed as a main dealer for Benalu trailers and parts, supplying the construction, agribusiness, container and timber sectors.

Made from Hardox 450 steel with a 5mm floor and 4mm walls, the Mega is establishing itself as a challenger brand in the UK market, capitalising on the strength and payload capacity of its scrap trailer. With a tare weight of approximately 8,450kg, it has capacity for nearly 27 tonnes.

Commercial vehicle equipment supplier AES UK launched its latest product at RTX, the TreadReader tyre scanner for truck tyres.

TreadReader area sales manager for UK and Ireland Richard Crummock said: “We can capture a tyre scan in a matter of seconds that’s repeatable and consistent; it’s going to analyse tyre wear to tell us whether it’s wearing strangely, whether there’s a potential inflation issue and whether there’s an alignment issue.
