Spider trailer

The Irish international rental group Easi UpLifts has taken delivery of a seven tonne Iveco mini articulated tractor unit from Billingham-based North East Truck and Van and a specially designed Veldhuizen trailer for its specialist spider lift division.

The company said the specially built trailer has been designed to allow for quick and easy loading operations and that its lightweight design provides payloads of almost six tonnes, as well as better fuel efficiency.

Easi UpLifts’ transport manager David O’ Keeffe said: “We are delighted to have added our new Iveco mini artic and trailer to our spider division. This will allow us to deliver a high bulk but low weight product such as our spiders anywhere in the UK cost effectively. We are always looking to transport machines more cost effectively and this is one way we feel will be of benefit to us and our customers.”
