Timber Trailers For Sale in United Kingdom

Early lumberjacks relied on waterways, teams of horses or oxen, and steam-powered locomotives to transport cut logs from a forest to the mill. That changed in the early 1900s, though, with the development of logging trucks and timber trailers. Early timber trailers, or log trailers, often had steel tyres, and the logging trucks used to pull them had small engines and low-powered transmissions. Developments such as oversized braking systems, rubber tyres, and more powerful engines and transmissions eventually allowed for the transport of trees that were deeper in forests and typically farther away from waterways or railroads.
