B Double Trailers
Carry more weight, items and machinery but don’t compromise on manoeuvrability and flexibility. Our B Double trailers are designed to optimise space and increase load capacity, enabling more goods to be transported in fewer trips.

B Doubles are versatile in handling different types of haulage, from bulk goods to heavy machinery. Their structural design allows for easy modification between flat decks, drop decks, and other types to suit various haulage requirements, making them adaptable for diverse industries.
