Brian James Trailers WHEELS ENCLOSED, TIPPER

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 790 to 1,162 kg, throughout with a 3,500 kg gross weight rating. Lengths range from 5,430 to 7,700 mm, widths from 2,110 to 2,490 mm.

The enclosed design shields the cargo from spray thrown up by the wheels and is valued both on vehicle transporters and on closed decks for machinery and equipment; the Tipper version further extends use to bulk material and construction waste within the 3.5-tonne rating. The length span from 5.43 to 7.70 m lets an operator choose between a version for a single vehicle and a longer one for machinery and accompanying equipment.

On a used example, check the condition of the wheel panelling and its fixings, the tipping mechanism and hydraulics on the Tipper version, the loading ramps and lashing points, axle suspension and the overrun brake, plus lighting. Frame corrosion under the panelling needs particular attention given the limited scope for visual inspection, as do the hinges and latches of the side panels; Brian James Trailers supplies its dealer network with original spare parts.
