FRUEHAUF Semi-Trailers Auction Results

Crane Fruehauf can trace its history back to 1865, when a blacksmith, William Crane, founded W Crane Wagon Works. Since then the firm has enjoyed almost 150 years of success and been involved in many mergers, acquisitions and takeovers. It manufactured trailers according to the American company Fruehauf’s designs in the 1960s and then merged to become Crane Fruehauf. Today the firm continues under the Fruehauf brand. The company now enjoys the position of being the leading tipper trailer manufacturer in the UK. This is reflected in their dominant market share and also in the recognised quality and value of its trailers.

Fruehauf Trailer

Crane Fruehauf’s trailers benefit from more than a century of experience and a design process that sees the firm work closely with major tipper operators. To achieve the optimum tipper trailer configuration, Crane Fruehauf adopts an integrated approach to the build, ensuring that the chassis and body complement one another perfectly. This allows Crane Fruehauf trailers to achieve that perfect balance between weight and strength. The company builds strength right into the design instead of adding it as an afterthought in the form of reinforcements, as with so many inferior trailers.

Crane Fruehauf works hard to ensure the safety of its tipper trailers, building in stability to body and chassis. It is now the only manufacturer to meet the gold standard IRTE ‘A’ Class stability measures across the whole tipper range. This range includes bath tub, smooth sider, ejector, blower, cargo and half pipe tipper trailers. Residuals for these tipper trailers are high, but with exacting quality standards you know that a used Crane Fruehauf tipper trailer is a sound investment.
