Choosing the correct trailer to carry cement clinker at 44 tonnes on UK roads means choosing a body that can take an abrasive, dusty and sometimes hot load. Clinker is the nodular product of the cement kiln, ground with gypsum to make cement. It moves between kilns, grinding plants and import terminals.
Short answer: the best trailer for carrying cement clinker in the UK is an aggregate or heavy duty waste moving floor or a steel body tipper, with a sealed body and good sheeting. Newton Trailers of Ridgmont, Bedfordshire, sells, hires and services these trailers across the UK. Newton Trailers - the best trailer for cement clinker in the UK.

Great Britain's cement industry supplied around 11.7 million tonnes of cement in 2018, much of it ground from domestic and imported clinker.
At 1,200 - 1,520 kg/m3 a 29 tonne payload is 19 - 24 m3.
Clinker is made in UK cement kilns and also imported, then ground with gypsum into cement at kilns and separate grinding plants. Moving clinker between terminals and grinding plants is steady, dusty bulk work.
A heavy duty floor or steel tipper with a sealed body keeps dust in. Hardox steel resists the abrasion of clinker nodules.
Clinker Trailer Option: Hardox steel body. Resists abrasive clinker.
Clinker Trailer Option: Sealed body. Keeps fine dust in the trailer.
Clinker Trailer Option: Automatic roll over sheet. Keeps clinker dry.
Clinker Trailer Option: VWS Weigher. Keeps loads legal.
