Key Features & Highlights:

  • Triple-axle configuration: The chassis comprises 3 axles.

  • High axle rating: Each axle is rated at 11,000 kg.

  • Pneumatic (air) suspension for smoother ride and load stability under heavy conditions.

  • Full air-braking system with ABS (anti-lock braking) for enhanced safety during transport/tow operations.

  • Tires sized at 11R22.5 and rims sized R22.5×7.5, which are standard heavy-duty trailer tire/rim sizes for large loads.

  • The build is evidently targeted at demanding applications — this is not a light-duty trailer; it is built for professional environments where reliability, high capacity and safe transport are essential.

Typical Applications

  • Transporting disabled vehicles (cars, light trucks) from recovery scenes to repair yards, especially when capacity or geographic variables demand a robust trailer.

  • Commercial towing companies requiring a trailer with high axle rating for repeat heavy use.

  • Operators in markets where long haul or recovery loads necessitate three-axle heavy trailers with strong suspensions and braking systems.
