Andover keeps a low profile


Andover Trailers is introducing a new, low-profile neck across its entire range of low loaders.

The design was originally produced to meet the requirements of Tony Harte, general manager of PW (Nigeria), and its UK agent McQ International Services of Portadown, Northern Ireland, exporter of quarrying and construction equipment.

Design brief was to keep the overall length of the trailer as short as possible, but at the same time make it suitable for carrying equipment such as motor graders and bulldozers.

Armed with this information Andover produced a deck length of just 7m complete with a hydraulic neck specially constructed to sit above the tractor unit with minimum clearance. With this design motor scraper bonnets are now able to go up over the neck.

The design first applied to Andover's 95t tri-axle low loader is now being added to its full range of hydraulic necks, which impose a load of between 16 and 45t.
