New Bodies and Trailers

New Zealand Trucking brings you New Kiwi Bodies & Trailers. Bodies and trailers are expected to last twice as long as trucks, and new technology and advanced design features are showing up almost every month. New Zealand has a rich heritage of body and trailer building and, each month, we’re proud to showcase recent examples of Kiwi craftsmanship. If you want a body or trailer included on these pages, send a photo, as well as its features and manufacturer’s name, to trailers@nztrucking.co.nz

Shepherd’s delight

Stickability in road transport doesn’t come any better defined than the colours of Waiuku’s Knight and Dickey Carriers. The latest edition to the stock division is this smart 8x4 Scania R650 with an equally slick Total Transport Engineers LP 7.62m stocktruck deck. The body features stainless-steel deck and extruded alloy coaming rails, alloy effluent tanks, handwash tank and toolbox. A Nationwide Stock Crates flat-sided cattle box is fixed on the deck. The truck tows an existing Total Transport Engineers LP five-axle trailer with a matching Nationwide Stock Crates cattle box. Features (deck): Stainless-steel deck and extruded alloy coaming rails.

Highways and byways

There’s no doubting this new TMC 6-axle flat-deck 20/40 B-train will see many kilometres of the nation’s main arteries with its new owner STL Linehaul, not to mention cart some pretty interesting loads. Just as well, then, that she sports over-width panels with lights. Fitted with TMC’s own disc-braked air suspended axles, STL’s instantly recognisable trailer livery of black coaming rails and red chassis and guards is given extra ‘pop’ via stainless-steel doors on the alloy toolboxes, rear under-run infills, and Alux polished alloy wheels. Features: TMC disc-brake axles and air suspension. WABCO braking system. TMC

Northland Pines are Patchells

Wellsford’s Segetin Cartage intends to move a lot of wood for a long time with this Patchell Industries set-up built around a Kenworth T659 power unit. The truck has a galvanised cab guard, alloy chassis covering, TRT Traction Air and load-restraint winches. The uber-slick five-axle drop chassis billet trailer with riflebolt extension pins also has the winches for restraining the payload and matches the truck’s shine with a set of Alcoa DuraBright feet. Features: (Trailer) Hendrickson INTRAAX disc-brake axles and air suspension. Hendrickson TIREMAAX PRO inflation-management system. Patchell Industries

A tip-off for the City of Sails

Abdul’s Truck, Trailer and Vehicle Services recently drove this sweet number out of the MillsTui workshops and lined her up on the go line. The uber-versatile Hino 500 wide cab has been fitted with a 5m steel bathtub, manufactured from G450 wear plate, and features ‘Diamond Strength’ top coaming rails. Bringing the body to life are a two-way tail-door, Edbro rams, and a PowerTarps semi-wet weather retractable tarp with a tarp-protection cover. Mills-Tui pull-out safety steps for the operator ensures the only thing that slips is the payload … right out the back. Features: Manufactured from G450 wear plate, ‘Diamond Strength’ top coaming rails, Edbro hoists, PowerTarps. Mills-Tui
