Co Laois manufacturer Wilson Engineering, well known for its successful self-loading bale transporter range and tailor-made low loaders for specialised plant and machinery movers, will once again return to the FTMTA Show in Punchestown.
Now well established in the low loader business, Wilson will exhibit a full-spec quad-axle low loader alongside a Monster Move 12-bale transporter.
The 33ft low loader model in question follows the firm’s usual blueprint, which means all the bells and whistles.
Under the body sits a quad-axle setup with two rear-steering and a front-steering axle.
All axles are steered using the latest electro-hydraulic technology, meaning no traditional push rods, specific hitches or drawbar bumpers are required. Instead, the system works via load sensing hydraulics and Isobus.
Air suspension
Being a full commercial spec trailer, it is equipped with air suspension and ABS air brakes. Other features include rear hydraulic jacks, a 10t winch, twist locks, an auto greaser, rear hitch and sliding flip toe ramps.
Both ramps are also hydraulically adjustable inwards and outwards from 500mm to 2,900mm to suit machines of varying track width.
The Monster Move 12-bale transporter set to be exhibited also boasts a high level of specification. This includes hydraulic opening cages and hydraulic load sensing controls.
In terms of running gear, the transporter sits on tandem commercial axles (rear steering) with air brakes, 620/40-R22.5 tyres. It is also fitted with a sprung steering drawbar, central greasing and full LED lights.
Wilson claims that its steering drawbar in combination with the rear steering axle leaves it as the most manoeuvrable bale transporter on the market.
