Marley Hire take delivery<br />
of new NC Dump Trailer<br />
NC <strong>Engineer</strong>ing of Hamiltonsbawn in County Armagh have recently delivered one of their new powertilt<br />
300 Series dump trailers to Marley Hire in Port<strong>ad</strong>own where it is alre<strong>ad</strong>y earning its keep.<br />
It’s the second NC dump trailer<br />
<strong>ad</strong>ded to the Marley Hire fleet<br />
and features a new <strong>ad</strong>vanced<br />
tail door system now known<br />
as the ‘magic tail-door.’<br />
The door’s unique design allows<br />
the 14 tonne dump trailer to<br />
be used with or without a taildoor,<br />
but it is always there when<br />
required at the flick of a lever.<br />
“We’re delighted that this<br />
new series of dump trailer is<br />
proving so popular, especially<br />
among contractors and those in<br />
agriculture,” says NC <strong>Engineer</strong>ing<br />
Director Wilfie Carson. “Because<br />
the tail door is part of the trailer<br />
it is extremely safe and less<br />
susceptible to accidental damage.”<br />
And <strong>ad</strong>ded Tony Marley: “It is a<br />
fabulous piece of equipment,<br />
well-constructed and finished<br />
and very popular with our hire<br />
customers, particularly farmers.<br />

All NC dump trailers are<br />
constructed using 8mm floor<br />
plates supported by the optimum<br />
number of floor runners, to stand<br />
up to the rigours of constant<br />
lo<strong>ad</strong>ing and unlo<strong>ad</strong>ing. Even<br />
the side panels are extra thick<br />
steel and supported by two<br />
massive continuous horizontal<br />
and bulge supports, with the<br />
chassis design optimised<br />
using the latest Computer<br />
Aided Design technology.<br />
The careful positioning of the<br />
body pivot point ensures a<br />
maximum height of discharge,<br />
enabling the operator to stock<br />
pile top soil, or whatever with<br />

have won this business, which<br />
cements a relationship going<br />

is designed wider and lower for<br />
better stability, hence making<br />
it easier to lo<strong>ad</strong> with a rubber<br />

The new 300 Series Dump Truck<br />
example, has the <strong>ad</strong>ded benefit<br />
of a front door which folds<br />
