CAR TRANSPORTER

Car transporter directly benefit the private; they reduce delivery costs and the risk of accidental damage en route and they ensure that the customer himself can “run-in” his new car from the start. Motor manufactures use them to deliver to their distributors and the docks; distributors use them to supply their area dealers. Nearly all transporters are articulated so that there is always a fresh load of four, six or eight car waiting for the first available tractor. Car delivery companies often operate Ford D tractors because their range of engines match the differing transporter sizes. The semi-trailers use both hydraulic and mechanical power to operate the loading ramp and fold the upper deck when the unit is returning empty to base. (~Corgi Juniors Collectors Album)
