Cabovers

Schmitz used to be a great fridge but have gone down a lot , their euro liners are pretty weak

 

You are right 98989 that is the one and only Finkl in Ireland (I am open to correction) that I know of, most are Pezzeioli, Michieletto, Cuppers and Houghton.

 

I know very little of the Euroliners as I only had one on my back a few times altogether and they were new, as for the fridge the last one I pulled was 2010 and seemed just as good as the earlier ones only difference I could say was the weight of it empty, id say a full ton lighter.

 

do you guys in IR use drawbar setups or only tractor-semitrailer for livestock?

for example this one is average combination for that here 3axle trailers are rarely used because they are too heavy(for 3+3), 2+3setups are very rare, they are often used because of poor road infrastructure in mountains and in east countries where from animals are most often imported.









dont know who is author found images on my forum

 

Yes there are some companies that use drawbar outfits, but hardly ever two axle trailer! they are deemed a bit too unstable for the kind of weights that would be hauled over here.
You would find three axle fixed or extendable drawbar or the conventional turntable, as I was saying almost all three axle.
Beautiful pictures...
