Cartwright Proves a Christmas Winner For Argos
The design of the straight-frame box van trailers, which has evolved and been refined in conjunction with the Argos Engineering team, reflects the operational requirements, in regard to strength, longevity and reliability, whilst also incorporating increasing health and safety requirements.
Having supplied trailers to Argos for 15 years, Cartwright wanted to make sure the specifications of the latest order exceeded the customer’s requirements as achieved on the previous year’s build.
The new trailers vary between 13.6 metres and 7.3 metres in length. A hundred of which feature Dhollandia retractable tail lifts, with the remainder fitted with Ratcliff hydraulic closure column lifts.
Other features include some trailers fitted with command steer axles, tinted blue GRP roof skins (to keep internal temperatures down), right-angled aluminium kick strips, GRP grit-impregnated floors, shutter doors with stainless steel rear frames, compression buffers, BPW drum brakes and, on some trailers, hydraulic landing legs.
