ESS Modular Platform Trailers
TRT ESS Platform Trailers offer all axle steering up to 45° from the centre. 2x8 right out to 14x8 axle lines are available. These configurations consists of a lead trailer, multiple quick connect ess axle modules, deck inserts, ramp module, lightbars, and bumper extensions. This enables operators to quickly and efficiently increase fixed deck length upwards of 40m.
TRT has developed ready to use horizontal bolsters and quick-connect rear power pack modules. This is designed for beam transportation between 40 – 80m.
Just like with every TRT Trailer, emphasis will consistently be placed on customisation and incorporating design input from our customers.
