LOW LOADERS
Trailer Magazine AUGUST 10
Titan by name, Titan by natureTITAN MANUFACTURING MAY HAVE STARTED OUT AS A TWO PERSON OPERATION, BUT THE COMPANY HAS GROWN IMMENSELY OVER THE PAST DECADE AND NOW PROVIDES A WIDE RANGE OF QUALITY LOW LOADERS THAT ARE IN USE ALL OVER AUSTRALIA.
While Titan Manufacturing was started
only 13 years ago, its experience in the
industry dates back almost four decades.
In fact, the company’s owners, Doug and
Margaret Phillips, started an earthmoving
business with a single truck in 1972,
before launching Titan Manufacturing 25
years later.
As the earthmoving business became more
and more successful, Doug and Margaret
identified a need for a construction
equipment manufacturing company
to fill a gap in the marketplace. Titan
Manufacturing was launched to provide
purpose built heavy machinery, repair
services and spare parts. This range has
grown to include a wide range of single,
tandem, tri and quad axle low loaders;
dog trailers; drop deck trailers; and spread
deck low loaders – all custom built to suit
its customer’s requirements. And Titan
Manufacturing lays claim to the fastest
delivery times in the industry, with a build
time of approximately eight weeks from
the date of order on all low loaders, and
three weeks on tag trailers.
In addition, after a recent research and
development trip to Asia, Doug witnessed
a range of modern technology used to
enhance Korean production lines and
has now adopted the same state-of-the-
art computer-aided drafting and design
programs.
Queensland company, Budden Contractors,
purchased a quad axle spread deck low
loader and dolly from Titan Manufacturing
earlier this year, its first trailer from the
manufacturer. Based in Chinchilla, the
company now operates three low loaders
and a range of tippers.
Director of Budden Contractors, Noel
Budden explains, “We are in the harvesting
and haulage business and also do a great
deal of float work for the various natural
resource sites around Chinchilla which are
really booming at the moment, carting all
sorts of odd shapes and sizes. The trailer is
used to cart a wide variety of machinery,
from graders, compactors and rollers, to
excavators and dump trucks – you name it,
we’ve carried it on the Titan trailer.”
The 11m Titan low loader with dolly was
received and put to work around five
months ago and is capable of carrying up
to 48 tonne. “While we hadn’t dealt with
Titan before, we found their prices to be
very competitive and their product to be
great quality. Titan gave us the flexibility to
order to suit our requirements so that the
finished product was exactly what we were
after. There were changes to the floor,
extra tie down points added and we were
able to specify the axle configuration we
were after,” says Noel.

supply is routed to a control box, then into each axle. Acting as a
conduit, the axles carry air through a rotary union assembly at the
spindle end, which then distributes the air to each tyre as needed. The
rotary union is the only moving part in the entire system, making it
virtually maintenance-free.

Isuzu is set to introduce the latest edition of its ready-to-work
NPR 200 Tradepack, which will be available for a limited time.The truck features Isuzu’s Euro V, EEV cab chassis and a wtowing capacity of 4.5 tonne GVM. It can also be driven on a car licence.The NPR 200 Tradepack is available in a standard and premium version. The standard Tradepack is fitted with a heavy duty aluminum tray body measuring 4500mm x 2122mm with a two-piece 303mm high drop sides. The body features a three-piece ladder rack, incorporating a
zinc-coated headboard.Power for both models comes from a four-cylinder turbocharged and air-to-air intercooled SiTEC Series III 155 engine, producing 114kW of power at 2600rpm and 419Nm of torque between 1600 and 2600rpm.
In the Standard model, the SiTEC 155 is mated to Isuzu’s smooth-shifting 5-speed syncromesh transmission. The Premium version also includes a factory-painted silver cab and a black powder coated, lockable steel toolbox (600mm x 450mm x 450mm), located under the passenger side of the tray. A 6-speed Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), instrument panel multi-information display, cruise control, chrome grille, auto control for air conditioning, front fog lamps and a driver suspension seat are also included in the Premium version. ■

Scania is taking a further step in its efforts to reduce the climate
impact from its own operations. The Swedish truck company’s own goods transport services at its production facilities in Södertälje will now use renewable bioethanol as standard fuel. Using renewable bioethanol as a fuel rather than fossil-based diesel will help reduce the climate impact of carbon dioxide emissions from Scania’s own goods transport services by approximately 70 percent. The eight ethanol trucks that are now being put into operation will contribute to a decrease in CO2 emissions equal to that of 12 normal homes heated by fossil-based electrical energy. “As a supplier of transport solutions, it is important for us to take the lead in developing sustainable alternative
solutions and demonstrate how sustainability and efficiency are linked in practice,” said Anders Nielsen, Scania’s Head of Production and Logistics. Scania currently offers a series of climate and energy efficient products and services – Ecolution by Scania – that helps transport companies reduce their carbon dioxide emissions and maximise revenue from their truck and bus operations. Ecolution by Scania is a comprehensive solution including optimised vehicles, driver training and continuous monitoring of both vehicles and drivers. In distribution services, switching to vehicles that run on biofuels will lead to a substantial reduction in climate impact. In Södertälje, Scania primarily operates trucks to transport components and packaging material
between its various production and assembly workshops. These internal freight traffic operations were recently taken over by the Scania Transport Laboratory, a wholly-owned subsidiary that tests and evaluates vehicle characteristics and performance in commercial haulage. Its task also includes developing and monitoring Scania’s drivers with regard to economic and safe driving. “By switching to ethanol, Scania is demonstrating that sustainable solutions can be achieved – here and now – with technology that is already available today,” said Anders Nielsen. To help increase the availability of renewable fuels for commercial vehicles, Scania will open a public filling station in Södertälje later this year with fuel dispensers for RME (rapeseed methyl ester), ED95 (ethanol) and biogas. ■

Australia’s transport ministers have voted unanimously
in favour of changes to the Performance Based Standards (PBS) scheme. The changes include moving to a system of national vehicle assessment and access decisions
for PBS vehicles, utilising a National Heavy Vehicle Regulator. Previously operators would have to negotiate access with each road manager. The changes also involve developing a system of modular assessment for PBS combination vehicles to allow
operators to use a range of prime-movers in front of the trailer as long as they have been PBS approved to match the trailer specifications, and the option for manufacturer self-certification, which will remove the requirement for manufacturers to employ a third party to certify each vehicle. NTC Chief Executive, Nick Dimopoulos, said these changes will give the industry greater certainty of access and operational flexibility and result in a range of benefits to the community. “But, it’s important to note that the mapping and classification of suitable road networks for these vehicles remains the responsibility of road managers. Mapping of networks will be key to the successful implementation of the changes to the scheme. Without this, the full productivity benefits associated with the PBS scheme will be under-realised.” ■

German air spring expert Vibracoustic has announced
a new sleeve type air spring for commercial vehicles, paving the way for the company’s new air cruise bionics air spring range.The new product was developed for applications in the chassis - especially when space is tight. According to Vibracoustic, it is much smaller than comparable solutions but can still boast a high spring rate.As a result, manufacturers save on lightweight body components, as the spring itself will ensure a notable weight reduction. Vibracoustic announced a weight advantage of up to several hundred kilograms, stating that the product will meet the most stringent demands made in terms of driving comfort and durability. ■

feature Scania Euro 6
GoinG thenext stepSwedish truck manufacturer, Scania, has already made some euro 6 trucks available on the european market well ahead of its introduction in 2013. tim Giles speaks to the engineer responsible for the new models’ engine at the company’s HQ.
The series of exhaust emission regulation changes of the past 20 years have come thick and fast. the latest emission reduction
to affect europe will be introduced in 2013. euro 6 sees a reduction in nitrogen oxides allowed and a sizeable tightening on the amount of particulate matter in exhaust gases. Scania’s development team in Sodertalje, just outside Stockholm in Sweden, explained to Prime Mover
what has had to be done to the engine systems over the line to meet the latest regulations.euro 6 comes into effect as of 1 January 2013 for new models and extends to all truck models in europe on 1 January 2014. Scania has already released some of the new models onto the european truck market in anticipation of some
governments offering incentives to trucking operators who moved to the cleaner trucks earlier than they are mandated. Low emission incentives were effective in bringing forward the adoption of euro 5 technology in many countries in europe. however, no major european country has yet announced any measure, either reduced road tax or reduced road tolls.the european Union only recently finalised the euro 6 emission level figures first suggested in July 2009, giving truck manufacturers a tight deadline. Apart from the usual limits of allowable pollutants in exhaust gases, a new kind of limit was introduced. this restricts the number of individual particles permitted to be emitted. nitrogen oxides are reduced by 80% when compared to euro 5 levels, down to 0.4g per kilowatt hour. Particulate matter is halved to 0.01g per kilowatt
hour with carbon monoxide unchanged at 1.5 and hydrocarbons reduced by 75% to 0.13.“euro 6 has been, and is, a challenge to us,” says Bjorn Westman, Scania’s engineering Director, head of engine Development. “in practice, the mass limit for particulates has made the amount of particulate matter the engines can emit much smaller than the regulators imagined, i think. When we started looking at euro 6, particulate counting was not on the table. Different scenarios with nitrogen oxide levels and particulate matter mass were discussed along with their effects on fuel economy.“the politicians set the limits knowing it would drive a 2% fuel economy penalty when compared to continuing with euro 5. it was clear to us it would be possible to achieve half the particular mass emissions without
having to use diesel particulate filters (DPF). the authorities did not like that, they wanted to push diesel particulate filters on all diesel vehicles. So they added in the particulate number count. So the industry was forced to add particulate filters. DPF’s add maintenance costs, exhaust back pressures and a further loss in fuel efficiency.”the new european legislation also specified a new ‘World harmonised’ test cycle to be used when assessing trucks for the new regulations. the new test includes much more simulated city driving, and tests both cold and warm engines. this increases the level of difficulty for the truck manufacturers as DPFs have to work even harder in stop start operation. the new test cycle is the toughest of its kind in the world, surpassing the strict Japanese testing procedures. in the past
higher particulate matter levels were allowed in transient cycles with lower levels specified when the vehicle was stationary.the cleanliness of the new exhaust gas particulate filters can be demonstrated by the fact the paper filters are completely clean after 30 minutes operation when compared with the same filter from a euro 5 engine. Further proof of the much improved particulate matter output in the euro 6 engines is in the fact the new exhaust pipes are completely clean inside and over time will become rusty rather than dirty.“Politicians are not supposed to push technology but they have clearly done that in this case,” says Bjorn. “We now have to deal with a regulation which limits us to 800 billion particles per kilowatt hour. this is hard to count, and measurement technology has been
tough to develop to meet this new part of the rules.“however, we do believe that euro 6 is the last major step in the reduction of particulates in exhaust gases. We think the next step in exhaust emission regulation will concentrate on carbon dioxide. even without euro 6 we have seen a huge drop in the level of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emitted by truck engines out on the roads.”So far, Scania has released two engines from its range as euro 6, the 440 and 480 hp 13 litre. the company says its new engines will achieve the same fuel economy possible with its euro 5 product. this has been achieved by changing the eGR settings in a way that increases nitrogen oxide emissions but also increases fuel economy, running more efficiently. the increased nitrogen oxides are cleaned up by

True to its word
As the son of highly regarded horse trainer
John Hawkes of Hawkes Racing, Wayne
Hawkes was surrounded by trucks from quite
a young age and is now a well-known horse
trainer himself.
“Since I was about 10 years of age, I travelled
around the country with Goldners Horse
Transport from Adelaide – and that’s how the
trucks started for me,” says Wayne. “I always
said I was going to own the biggest and best
float company around – but that went by the
wayside and I became a horse trainer instead,
before establishing Tailored Freight, so it all
just marries together really well.”
The opportunity to start Tailored Freight
arose when Wayne’s long time friend, Todd
Moraitis, was working for his uncle Nick at
the Melbourne fruit market. At the time
a new supermarket depot was being built
on the Albury and Wodonga border and
Todd’s uncle needed to have some freight
transported.
“Todd knew everything there is to know
about fruit and vegetables so that’s basically
how it started,” says Wayne, who began
Tailored Freight with Todd in mid 2006. “The
business almost started overnight.”
Tailored Freight began with four employees
and now employs 11. Based near the
Footscray market in Melbourne, Tailored
Freight began its life with two B-doubles,
towed by a second hand 2005 Mack Vision
prime mover and a brand new Freightliner
Argosy – both of which still have their place
in the fleet today.
Before long, the demand placed on the two
vehicles had increased and there was a need
to implement a third vehicle within the first
six months of the company’s operations. This
year another two vehicles were added to the
Tailored FreighT was born Five and a halF years ago when Two besT maTes made The decision To sTarT Their own TransporT business To service The needs oF melbourne’s Fresh produce markeTs. and according To iTs Founders, The business has been based on qualiTy raTher Than quanTiTy From The very beginning.
It is much easier for drivers to just push a button rather than have to hand wind landing legs. We split our B-double sets all the time so the Razor legs certainly do get a work out.
fleet, bringing the total number of prime movers to five
and the total number of trailers up to 11.
Tailored Freight now operates nine insulated tautliners
and two refrigerated pantech trailers which all operate
as B-doubles, servicing the Melbourne, Wodonga and
Shepparton districts as well as all the distribution centres
in between. Fruit and vegetable cartage accounts for
approximately 90 per cent of operations, while general
cartage takes up the remaining 10 per cent.
And while there has been several opportunities for
the company to travel interstate, Wayne says that
the company’s fleet is geared to service the needs of
Victoria. “We don’t want to be the biggest but we are
trying to be the best,” he says. “It is easy to get too big
and lose sight of the big picture. We are quite happy to
stay around this sort of number of trucks.”
Every trailer in the fleet has been manufactured by
Freighter, with all but one trailer purchased brand new.
The most recent trailer purchased is a second hand
Freighter trailer that has been completely refurbished.
All vehicles in the fleet operate seven days a week and
the business is open every day of the year except for
Christmas Day and Good Friday. “Horse training is no
different to the fruit and vegetable market, it also runs
seven days a week so the two work hand in hand,”
Wayne says.

Glare Horizontally reflected light such as sunlight or artificial light including car headlamps can create annoying and sometimes dangerous glare. Glare can be extremely dangerous even in foggy or overcast conditions. Kenworth sunglasses cut glare and aid in reducing user eye-strain.
Polarised LensesThese lenses contain a special built-in filter designed to reduce intense reflected light from non-metallic surfaces such as vehicle glass, painted surfaces, roads and water.
Photochromic LensesKenworth sunglasses feature photochromic lenses that darken automatically according to light conditions. They also protect your eyes from 100 percent of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet UVA / UVB radiation.
Anti-reflective treatmentA state-of-the-art coating on the inside of the lenses helps reduce the glare from internal lights caused by light bouncing off the lens to your pupil.
De-centered lenses De-centred lenses are calibrated to balance out the distortion
effect caused by curved lenses. This enables the user to see up or down or straight ahead without experiencing any optical distortion.
Product RangeThe Kenworth range of sunglasses consists of six modern styled lightweight black or tortoise shell frames in a comfortable wrap around shape.The lenses are glass or polycarbonate in a grey or copper colour. Prescription glasses are also available on request.
