Big Green Custom Trailer
Venter Manufacturing has developed a unique solution for a client in the promotional industry. The project required a trailer, based on the Royal Horsebox, to accommodate a large digital kiosk, battery-powered hydraulic equipment, as well as a battery-powered mini forklift. Additionally the access to the trailer for the forklift required modifications to the rear and side ramps.
The ramp opening operations for storing and removing the kiosk needed to be hydraulic-assisted for one person to do. Both the front and side ramps employ the hydraulic system to lower and raise the front ramp and the rear platform. In order to maximise available storage space, the hydraulic system was installed in the front nosecone area.
