Frequently Asked Questions

What is an extendable flatbed trailer?

An extendable flatbed trailer is a telescopic semi trailer designed to carry long and oversized cargo such as beams, pipes, wind turbine blades or industrial machinery.

How does the extension mechanism work?

The central beam slides on reinforced runners and locks at multiple positions using high-strength mechanical pins supported by safety systems.

Is the trailer suitable for African road conditions?

Yes. Alura trailers include high ground clearance, reinforced chassis and shock-resistant materials designed specifically for rough and mining roads.

Can I choose mechanical suspension instead of air suspension?

Yes. Many African mining companies prefer mechanical suspension for durability, and Alura can supply both air and mechanical suspension options.
