Unfortunately due to supplier price increases there will be another substantial price increase on Fruehaufs in production after February 2019. Sorry.

Chromium VI ban in 2019
Sorry to disappoint but this has nothing to do with Brexit but what story would be complete without the B word. Chromium VI is a miracle additive in the painting of trailers - it slows corroisions and helps the paint stick to the prepared chassis - it is also cheap. But because it kills the world and causes marine creatures to turn turtle it is banned from use in paints from January 2019. So manufacturers paint warranties will change - your 5 year warranties will soon be 2! Just thought you would like to know.

The IAA show in Germany - like a lot of things in my life - happens every two years...... and was declared by all participants in flowery and ebulliant language to have been an amazing success.

So where was Keith Walking Floor????? 14 trailers and none of them able to use the name Walking Floor.
Knapen had an interesting product - basically a very similar product to the Luck Steel Walking Floor - but with the variation of having the Cargo Floor steel overlapping floor product in it' . Launched with great fanfare. Other than all the others were really just the 'Kama Sutra, page 42'. Which is basically the same as pages 41 and 43 except the goat is wearing a hat. So very small differences declared to be major innovations. Brand versus brand. As usual with European trade shows the exhibits were immaculately presented and marketing involving cubic cheese with flags sticking out the top:
