Engineered Efficiency Fresh out of the Balclutha-based workshops of MD Engineering is this immaculate new build for Talley’s. The seven-axle curtain-sided B-train was a concerted effort by everyone involved, and the results speak volumes. Complete with Carrier fridge units, fully insulated roof and end walls as well as drain troughs and effluent tanks, the trailer set, designed to run at 59 tonne, has a tare of only 13,400kg. To protect against the harsh salt products Talley’s transport’s, the decks have been Arc Sprayed with zinc. Keeping the load at just the right temperature are insulated curtains from Tauranga Canvas.
FEATURES: SAF Intradisc axle sets, Wabco EBS, custom tool boxes, dunnage boxes, Alcoa Dura-Bright alloy rims, auto greaser on steer axle. MD Engineering
