Forterra, a manufacturer of building products in the UK, has recently expanded its fleet through a collaboration with semi-trailer manufacturer SDC.

Forterra worked closely with the manufacturer to develop a cutting-edge Twin Tridec Rear Steer design for the order of 40 new Platform trailers.

Its new fleet of Twin Tridec Rear Steer Platform Trailers boast an impressive array of features designed to enhance performance and safety.

Some of the standout features include roll stability braking, steel flooring, strobe LED lighting, safety beacons, auto-greaser, GRP toolbox and cone storage, auto-reset raise and lower valve suspension, as well as the provision for a roll-along crane.

“Their advanced features and rear steer system allow us to navigate even the most challenging delivery sites with ease.
