TEICHMANN PLANT HIRE SELECTS MARTIN TRAILER COMPANY
for cross-border trailer requirements
T
eichmann Plant Hire, a leading earth
moving equipment provider for South-
ern and Central Africa, recently took
delivery of a Martin Trailer Company cus-
tom-made, detachable RGN 55 and HD 50
trailer. Managing Director of Martin Trailers,
Patrick Gore says that he’s particularly
proud to have been selected for the build
as Teichmann had historically only used
folding gooseneck trailers.
“With economic conditions as strained as
they are in Southern Africa, it’s always re-
freshing to see a large business innovat-
ing to keep abreast of their clients specific
requirements. Teichmann listed precise
specifications for their trailer including tak-
ing the unit cross-border and complying
with the height and payload stipulations
in Southern Africa as well as Central Afri-
ca where the trailer will be operated,” says
Gore.
The new detachable RGN 55 and HD 50
trailer boasts a higher payload and lower
tare than competitor
units. Speaking of
the new purchase,
both Sean Devine
– Logistics Manag-
er and Brett Nico-
lay – Group Plant
Manager say that
they looked at var-
ious manufacturers
in the market for
the trailer. “Based
on Martin Trailers’
experience and de-
sign, we were com-
fortable to place our
trust in them.”
The new Martin Trailers detachable RGN
55 and HD 50 trailer will be used in
Southern and Central Africa for abnormal
machinery loads including excavators and
bulldozers.

lated equipment servicing the heavy haul-
