The Edinburgh-based crane specialist is celebrating its 75th anniversary
Edinburgh-based Bernard Hunter Mobile Cranes has added a new STGO Cat 3, 4-axle low-loader from Nooteboom trailer to its fleet of specialist crane ballast, low-loader, step-frame and flat trailers.
The new Nooteboom Eurotrailer Euro-96-04(P) model, which has been specified with steer/lift SAF axles with Goodyear 285/70R 19.5 tyres, comes with an extendable load bed, measuring 8,500mm when closed. Running with a 535mm loading height, the 2,740mm wide load bed can also be extended with its outriggers to add 250mm to the main deck at each side. A hydraulically operated gooseneck, with a total stroke of 800mm, permits 6x4 tractor unit operation with a jeepdolly if required, along with coupling to either 8x4 or 10x4 tractor units.
Commenting on the new arrival, which will be used for a variety of crane ballast transport, machinery movements and heavy haulage, Bernard Hunter Mobile Cranes MD Mark Rafferty, said: “The new Nooteboom Eurotrailer represents a substantial investment for our business. We are delighted with its specification and build quality. The trailer will bring additional capabilities to our heavy haulage fleet, in addition to offering a wider range of transport solutions to our customers.”
