Are STAS straightframe or stepframe tipping trailers?
We often get asked are the STAS tipping trailers sold by Newton Trailers stepframe or straightframe? Well we sell both. When we offer the aggregate wonder trailer - we construct it as a straightframe chassis with a trapezoid body.
When we make the bulk trailers we manufacture them on the steel Medias Chassis with a small stepframe. Confusingly the body is straight on this. So the small step is lost by cunning engineering into the body. The win is a reduction in height - giving on the road stability as you run along the roads. Comments are that they follow beautifully - part assisted by the ultra wide 1400mm chassis.

Yes.
Luck 75 cyd steel body tipping trailers can be constructed in full hardox steels down to 7.800 tonnes. This is typically 2 tonnes lighter than the traditional construction of Fruehauf, KBF or Draycott.

Are Luck Tipping Trailers any good?
Luck are one of STAS's 4 manufacturing companies in Europe. STAS would be named number 1 for alloy tipping trailers in the EU. A fourth generation family company who sleep, wake and eat with no other thought in their heads other than how to be number 1 in customer satisfaction and product quality. Luck gained an enviable reputation over 15 years in Germany as the number 1 for quality prior to STAS taking them over. They had the USP of producing the lightest scrap trailer in Germany and then in the UK and by some distance. They are laser cut and laser welded and that is just not possible to beat. By any metric they are fabulous and the payback on payload alone makes them the only choice for the quality buyer of steel body tipping trailers in the UK.
