As A Rhino
At the end of 2017 I popped into the Trailer and Mega Custom Steelworks (TMCS) factory in Pretoria to get an exclusive first look at a new kid on the block. The name of the multi-purpose trailer with a host of customization options is Rhino Bushy Ranger.
The name is apt – it’s a solid, strong trailer with body panels made from 1.6 mm steel plate.
At that stage the demo unit had just been built, but now as the trailer is ready to hit the market, we are able to reveal more detail.
When buying the basic Rhino Ranger unit, you get the body, a large roomy nose cone compartment, a jockey wheel, extra-strong roof rails and a spare tyre. The tyres are the latest Goodyear Wranglers that come out with Kevlar reinforced sidewalls. They look pretty mean and macho too!
I had an opportunity to walk around the TMCS factory where the Rhino Bushy Ranger is built, and got a firsthand look at the design criteria behind the trailer. What came across on our factory walkabout is the fact that the customer is king, and customization is the name of the game.
