MacDonald Goes For New Andover Tailored Trailer

SCOTTISH construction contractor, D.A. MacDonald, has taken delivery of its first Andover triaxle step frame trailer, selecting the Hampshire based OEM after being impressed with the ability to tailor the build to its specific requirements (see TN, February 2021).
The high spec, bespoke built beavertail step frame has a gross weight of 56 tonnes, making it well suited to the wide range of heavy construction plant D.A. MacDonald transports to civil engineering projects across Scotland.
Chris Stewart, health, safety environment and quality manager at D.A. MacDonald, said: “We looked at a range of manufacturers and were certainly aware of Andover’s reputation for build quality. One of the biggest contributing factors was that they don’t simply sell trailers ‘off the shelf’, they gave us the flexibility to spec it exactly to our needs.”
