Skeletals
"SDC extending and rigid skeletal trailers are built on chassis technology developed from a close understanding of freight operators needs."

All models in the SDC skeletal range are manufactured using the latest materials, designs and technology to maximise payloads with lightweight designed constructions for european and worldwide operations.
True features & benefits
Recent innovations from SDC in skeletal trailer design include a sloping frame model, which can carry all combinations of ISO containers at 44 tonnes. A further two innovative options have been developed for operators wishing to retain the benefits of a front lift axle within current legislation.
• The SDC load transfer system is designed for those requiring additional traction when moving heavy 20ft. containers. The system discharges air from the suspension over the first axle, redistributing weight to the drive axles through the king pin increasing traction.
• The ELDAS* lift axles system is an automatic valve fitted in conjunction with the standard lift axle kit. The valve is triggered by movement of the chassis and will only allow the axle to be raised within a legal configuration. This also encompasses the benefit of the load transfer system.These systems represent a major breakthrough in trailer performance, loading handling and operator safety. Both systems comply with legislation for turning circle and C & U regulations for trailers.
