KTWO BUILD TRAILER OVER 3
METERS WIDE FOR NORTH AMERICA
KTWO, one of the biggest British
manufacturers of farming
machinery, have built a 3.2 metre
wide machine based on their
popular Roadeo Curve Trailers to
fulfil the export market needs in
North America.
The Ktwo range of Roadeo
Curve Tipping Trailers are well
known across the UK for their
high-quality build and heavyduty
design capacity.
Ktwo saw an opportunity in
the North American market for
a strong high-quality agriculture
trailer after being approached
by several companies across
America and Canada this year
alone. They needed a manufacturer
with the capacity and
experience to fulfil their need
for strong, large silage trailers
to hold volumes of over 52m3
(1,850 cubic ft).
Ktwo purchased Warwick
Trailers last year to increase
the size of their production
facilities to nearly 80,000 square
foot, giving them the space to
produce more for their export
markets.
‘’With our larger facilities
we can focus on our export
market growth. We already have
machines around the world, but
we are now able to develop our
range more so for the export
needs across different countries.’’
explains Robbie Polson,
Ktwo Managing Director.
Ktwo already has examples
of their UK leading Roadeo
Compact and Push trailers
operating in Canada and
enquiries for more, along with
spreaders and now tipping
trailers.
‘’Specifically for North
America, we have taken our
Ktwo Roadeo Curve Trailers
and increased the width from
2.5m to 3.2m wide. The bigger
machines are all tri axles with
steering axles and 800 tyres
to cope with the large size and
capacity. It has been a good
challenge and we’re excited
for our future growth in export
worldwide.’’
The first trailer has been
shipped, along with a tandem
Ktwo Duo muck spreader,
and is due to arrive into
America by the end of this
July. The next four trailers
and a further three spreaders
will be shipped in the coming
weeks.
