New Boydstun Cylinder Strap Truck

No, those aren't screw actuators... those are actual cylinders!

Boydstun Cylinder Strap Trucks Available

This is an excerpt from the press-release sent over earlier:

Boydstun Metal Works has introduced the latest addition to their product line. The new Cylinder Soft Tie unit is now available in a 7 car Quickload trailer with a 3 or 4 car headrack. . . . The decks on the new unit have been designed to come down low enough for a driver to stand on the ground while securing cars which reduces the chance for slips and falls.

Boydstun building strap car hauler with cylinders

The folks at Boydstun are building a strap trailer that will use cylinders instead of screw actuators. The target market for this new type of car hauler seems to be the owner operators who have been reluctant to adopt the new screw technology. Boydstun will continue to build screw trucks, which have seen wider acceptance by larger fleets of new car haulers like Toyota Logistics.
