Premium Root Trailers

Designed and built to exacting

standards the McConnel DOW range of

Root Trailers are among the highest

quality trailers on the market today.

Available as 12, 14 and 16 tonne

configurations, they are perfect for the

British farmer or agricultural contractor

who requires a high quality product.

Fitted with Flat Cam Axles as standard

featuring hydraulic brakes, with the

option of S Cam Commercial Axles,

these trailers can meet the latest

legislation by using air brakes and ABS

for road speeds in excess of 20mph. A

heavy duty commercial trailer parking

brake makes the trailer safe when notin use.

Super Single tyres are fitted as

standard for general purpose use

(combination of road and field work)

Flotation tyres are available for boggy

off road use ideal for soil management.

The optional easily adjustable sliding

mud guard has been designed to cover

wheel and tyre preventing tyre damage

and flying mud when in transport on the

public highway.

The chassis is made from 250 x 150 x

8mm Structural RHS Steel for maximum

strength and durability.. Fitted as

standard with an adjustable 15 tonne

sprung drawbar to allow trailer pitch

correction depending on varying

tractor drawbar heights (16-24) and

wheel/tyre specification.

Trailer bodies are manufactured with

lower sides to prevent damage to

crops and a 4mm thick floor mounted

on bearers at 300mm centres for

maximum load spread. Fitted with

attachments to easily accommodate an

Easy Sheet or silage sides at a later

date if required.

Supplied via a zinc plated hydraulic

line the trailer tailgate is operated via

two hydraulic rams controlled by

check valves and a spring loaded

safety valve to prevent accidental

opening of the tailgate door when in

transport.

Finished in the striking McConnel

colours as standard, or a custom livery

if preferred this is a trailer that will

provide years of service.
