Durban-headquartered OEM, Serco Industries, has designed and manufactured a walking floor trailer for a waste removal company.
This walking floor trailer, a first for Serco, features a unique upper structure, built using high-strength composite facings with a reinforced core. This provides a light weight, high strength yet cost-effective alternative to the traditionally imported aluminium extrusions used in similar trailers.
The 15.4m trailer, Serco said, is loaded through an open-top design and secured with a roll-over tarpaulin to ensure safe and contained transportation.
“The new walking floor trailer is a part of our diversification strategy, allowing us to broaden our product range and bring innovative solutions to a wider market,” said Serco CEO, Clinton Holcroft.
“By engineering smarter, cost-effective alternatives, we continue to support our customers with the most efficient and high-quality transport solutions available.”
Serco specialises in the design and manufacturing of insulated and dry freight truck bodies and trailers.
These trailers, according to Serco, are relied upon by Southern Africa’s leading transporters and long-distance hauliers to carry everything – safely and hygienically – from ice cream and day-old chickens to beef and bread.
In addition its Durban head office, Serco also has branches in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Gqeberha.
