UK heavy transport specialist Collett & Sons has ordered four Goldhofer Stepstar step frame trailers comprising two three axle and two four axle units.
The trailer beds extend to 16.14 metres and include 10 x 10 tonne lashing points with twistlock securing points. The three axle trailer has a 52 tonne payload while the four axle unit can handle up to 62.5 tonnes.

Additional features include side extensions up to three metres and drop down rear landing legs. The trailers have three metre side extensions capability.
Managing director David Collett said: "The low height, capacity and flexibility of the new step frame trailers make them an excellent addition to our fleet, bridging the gap between standard step frames and more specialist equipment."
Collett is based in Halifax, England, with yards in Elland, Bradford, Goole and Grangemouth in Scotland, as well as an office in Dublin, Ireland. It can trace its roots back to 1928 when Richard Collett began by transporting his and other farmers milk to the dairy by horse and cart near Keighley. In 1933 he purchased his first wagon and by the 70’s the company had moved into general haulage and heavy transportation. More recently it has added the supply of craneage, along with heavy lift, contract lifts and rigging services to its portfolio.
