SDC Trailers reveal CV Show Line Up
SDC Trailers will be returning to the U.K.’s prestigious Commercial Vehicle exhibition, this event is one of a number of events they are attending to mark their 40th anniversary celebrations this year, which will conclude with an anniversary banquet on the 12thOctober. SDC will be exhibiting six trailers at the show, each of them designed to meet the needs of operators in the haulage industry.
On SDC’s stand 5F101 there will be three trailers on display. The first trailer on display is an exciting, innovative, industry changing trailer. A research and design process that has spanned several years has ensured that every practical requirement of the operator(s) has been accounted for in our revolutionary design, which is first to Market. The trailer will be unveiled at The CV Show and it is undoubtedly one trailer that is not to be missed at The NEC.
Next up is the Brick Platform. This trailer has become one of the most popular in the SDC portfolio. It is the Market Leader in the Construction Industry. The design of the first brick trailer was an integrated effort between customers, sales managers and engineers to design and manufacture a trailer that would meet the needs of everyone in the industry. The trailer is designed to be fitted with a roll along crane and has a forced steer Tridec system installed for maximum manoeuvrability.
The brick platform has evolved over the years and the most recent version is arguably the best with advanced health and safety features, including curtain sides fitted on the trailer and multi position load restraint hooks. It is also fitted with an ENXL approved headboard which will provide greater economic benefits for the customer.
The third trailer at Stand 5F101 is the introduction of the new SDC Concept Boxvan Trailer. SDC’s boxvan was redesigned after lengthy discussions with different stakeholders in the Industry. The boxvan was redesigned using the latest bonding technology in construction to improve the aesthetics durability and volume of the current boxvan. The longevity of this trailer has been extended with the galvanised rear frame and rear floor crossmember preventing corrosion which will also help maintain higher residual value. It is now suitable for 34 Euro Pallet Operations and is currently undergoing the ENXL approval process. The new boxvan is designed to allow the fitment of an optional full width compression buffer. This design integration provides flexibility should your operational needs change after purchase. The boxvan on display at SDC’s stand will have the compression buffer fitted. It must also be mentioned that the livery on this boxvan is unique and emotive as it tells the story of how SDC has grown from a one man operation to the global Company it is today. The new design and the livery of this boxvan certainly merits a visit to SDC’s stand.
In the NEC outside exhibition area, SDC will have three curtainsiders on display.
SDC’s CEO Enda Cushnahan commented, "We are delighted to be back at the CV Show in 2018, showcasing the latest trailer innovations from SDC. Our Engineering and Sales teams have been collectively working together to design smart trailers for the Industry that will provide many economic benefits for the operator. The CV show is an excellent networking event as it gives us the opportunity to engage with customers and suppliers.
SDC will be on the same stand as last year, 5F101, and we look forward to welcoming new and existing customers. We will have our Sales Managers and members of our Engineering Team on hand to discuss how we can maximise transport operations and enhance the profitability of their business.”
