Modern Transport – Extendable Trailers

Designed for loads that go beyond the capabilities of a conventional flat top, the MTE 4 Transporter Extendable combines everyday freight versatility with the flexibility to handle long and oversized loads. Its extendable deck allows operators to quickly adapt the trailer to suit changing transport requirements, making it an ideal solution for structural steel, precast components, machinery and other long or oversize loads.
‍
‍Extend for longer loads, The extendable deck provides the additional length required for long and oversized freight while returning to a standard deck length when not required.

‍Versatility without compromise, Retains the practicality of a conventional flat top for everyday transport while adding the capability to take on specialist loads.
‍
‍Built for changing freight, Comprehensive load restraint, container and stanchion options allow the trailer to be configured around a wide range of cargo.
