Transfleet Trailers

Our Big Smoothy© body is available up to 9-metres in length and as a result of our extensive experience over many years talking and working with our customers, comes with a range of inbuilt features to improve value:

 

• Rear egress plates
• Round back hoist cowls
• Exclusive Transfleet extrutions

 

 

Currently we have more than 60 private dies for bodies in our workshop, from a small wiring cover to one of the largest ever cut for a New Zealand manufacturer. Our policy is to use and support New Zealand extrution manufacturers however overseas capacity is availiable if needed.

 

 After building bodies for more than 20 years we refuse to compromise on quality, purchasing our plate materials only from French company - Constellium, who are the leading supplier of aluminium plate and sheets to Airbus and Boeing. Typical availablity lead times require a minimum of six months.

We forecast demand to the best of our abilityto ensure continuous supply of the quality plate integral to

Transfleet's Big Smoothy© bodies.

 

 

 

Those years of working alongside our customers have allowed us to tailor make Big Smoothy products for them, including an 'offal' specification for semi-fluid loads. 

DESCRIPTION

Smooth-sided aluminium dump body designed to provide maximum strength and capacity for minimum weight. Used mainly for dry and semi-fluid bulk cartage.

Specifications  - as per Transfleet’s “Construction – Aluminium Tipper – Truck and Trailer” product sheet.

RAER EGRESS PLATES   

All Transfleet trailer bodies have rear egress plates installed into the rear posts.  These maintain rear post structural integrity by acting as a sacrificial wear plate and allow cleaner discharge because of the decrease in angle.

ROUND BACK HOIST COWLS

Originally designed to encourage better flow from a headboard area prone to ‘wedging’ sticky material such as clay. For more than 15 years the round back cowl has been the backbone of Transfleet building philosophy.

 

EXCLUSIVE TRANSFLEET EXTRUTION

Stylising the Big Smoothy© is a repetition of Transfleet's unique identifying aluminium flutes found in the top rail, half guard, rear light box, and splashguard.
