Towmate takes plant trailers to another level

When you have been working in the trailer parts business for over 25 years, its fair to say you have a lot of experience on the product and its applications, that’s certainly the case for Colchester based family business ATE (UK) Ltd who have recently launched brand new models of its Towmate range.

The guys and girls at ATE (UK) Ltd were excited to show us the new products and thanks to our friends at Dynapac, Flannery Plant Hire and Wacker Neuson, we were able to put these new trailers to the test with a variety of different machines in different locations.

The new Towmate models are a direct result of 2 years of research and development and listening to feedback on the needs and requirements of customers working at the “coal face” so as to speak.

First and foremost, the trailers have been designed from the ground up, with safety in mind, this includes a slip free loading ramp with gas assisted struts for ease of lowering and raising. A blade locking device for securing mini excavators is available on the top spec model, and no less than 8 tie-down points for further load security.

The trailers modular design makes it extremely adaptable to individual customers application requirements.

In the video below I’m given a guided tour of one of the new trailers by ATE (UK) Ltd’s National Trailer Sales Manager Glenn Pooley, who was keen to tell me more about the product.
