Heavy transport specialist Collett and Sons is adding 36 axle lines of modular transporter to expand its fleet.

The new Goldhofer THP/SL-L modules will be a first for the UK company. They are due to be up and running by August. With the new equipment Collett will be better able to handle more complicated transport projects.

Each axle line has a load capacity of 26.1 tonnes and has a deadweight of 2.77 tonnes. Flexibility was a key requirement for Collett to allow flexibility in configuring the equipment to suit specific requirements of the loads to be carried.
