Skip trailers | Tandem-Axle Single Skip | Tri-Axle Single Skip| Tri-Axle Twin Skip

Skip trailers have usually been built with a swan-neck in order to overcome the problem of the skip unit's rear stabilisers protruding further than the drawbar coupling, and hence fouling the drawbar during manouevring. Nowadays, more and more of the skip units are being manufactured with stabilisers which do not cause this difficulty. In these cases a conventional straight-beam drawbar is able to be used. This also means that the drawbar can be retractable for loading the skip over the front of the trailer.

We manufacture several layouts of skip trailer; the Tandem-Axle Single Skip Truckmate is usually employed for the carriage of one skip. The Tri-Axle Twin Skip Truckmate is usually adopted for the carriage of twin skips. Although the Tri-Axle Single Skip Truckmate is also in demand for heavier loads - see below
