The Chieftain Rockstar – Are you ready to rock?01/09/2010
The Chieftain “Rockstar” Half-pipe Tipping Trailer is quickly becoming the desired choice of the big hitters in the quarry industry.
Companies such as the Norman Emerson group, PT McWilliams, Castle & Jordan’s Quarries, Oxigen Environmental, Panda Waste and many more have all purchased this specialised product in order to reap the potential benefits of increased productivity and payload.
This 44 ton Gross half pipe tipping trailer with hardox steel body offers efficiency improvement through increased payloads because it can transport an extra 9 tonnes compared with the 32tonne 8 wheeler tipper trucks. It takes almost three 8 wheeler tipper trucks to transport the same payload carried by two 44 tonne articulated tipper vehicles. This decreases the cost per tonne mile and inevitably saves your firm money.
John Quinn Managing Director of Chieftain says, “These cost savings are a direct result of a reduction in the overall loading and tipping time, and a reduced number of journeys. The bigger the payload the fewer trips that need to be made, saving operators costs in terms of fuel used and vehicles and drivers required in the operation. This in turn can help to improve your customer service and increase profit margins.”
The Rockstar comes complete with front lift axles which can help to improve traction, and automatic dumping of the air suspension increases tipping stability. This along with the automatic tail door increases operator comfort.
Another key feature is the tipper’s 8 metre bogie which improves maneuverability and can aid accessibility to sites with limited space. John Quinn says, “the innovative design of the Rockstar means that it is more manoeuvrable than a standard 8-wheel rigid tipper, allowing it to go where an 8–wheeler cannot.”
The benefits of the Rockstar tipping trailer makes this an ideal purchase for any business that intends to stay at the top of their game.
The flexibility of Chieftain’s state of the art painting facility and superior colour matching capabilities enable the half pipe tipping trailer to be painted the firms own corporate colours.
Chieftain realise that their commercial clients’ logos and corporate liveries are their prime means of communication to their markets and represent a huge investment in time, money and marketing effort. Hence time is taken by Chieftain to ensure the half pipe tipping trailer is painted within the customer’s corporate guidelines to ensure the client’s commercial fleet looks its best and stands the rigours of day to day operation.
Anyone whoever wanted to be a Rockstar (and those of you that decided against it) can now purchase the Chieftain Rockstar in a colour of your choice.
