We open this description by pointing out that Standard Trailers
are not our main activity. As our name suggests - The Specialist
Transport Group – we concentrate on solving transport problems
which, by definition, involves the use of specialist trailer
equipment (see other categories). Having said that, over
the years, we have established a good, working relationship
with many of the best Standard Trailer operators in Europe.
In many ways, the expression Standard Trailer is itself
a misnomer. Standard Trailers come in a variety of styles,
each with subtle variations. Some are described as 13.60m
Tilts, Curtain Siders, Euroliners or whatever. To a large
extent, the final choice is dependent on the nature of the
cargo and the method of loading. On both these aspects, we
would be pleased to give advice.
In elementary terms, most Standard Trailers offer a loading
length of between 12.00 and 13.60m (B), with internal heights
varying from 2.40m to 2.90M (H). The point perhaps worth
emphasising is that, because they are intended purely for
general cargo, most Standard Trailers are not suitable for
machinery i.e. where there is a concentrated load, a high
centre of gravity or difficulty in securing the cargo safely.
This is only a brief, general description. For more detailed
