Douglas Equipment To

Display Tug master

Tractors At RoRo '94

Douglas Equipment reportedly produced its first elevating fifth wheel Tugmaster tractor in 1955, and the manufacturer claims this established and has kept Douglas

Tugmaster on the leading edge of

RoRo since it began.

Over the years Douglas has been involved in many developments, such as the ultra heavy duty chas- sis frames and solid fifth wheel lift- ing frames, fail safe braking at all wheel stations, rear pneumatic sus- pension, group component technol- ogy, tilt cabs, and much more.

On display at RoRo '94 will be the latest Douglas Tugmaster Type

NSS-220-LFW (Low Fifth Wheel

Height) RoRo/Terminal Tractor, designed for handling the new gen- erations of Super Cube and Mega

Cube trailers. The Tugmaster on display will be fitted with a Volvo

TD71A diesel engine driving through a multi-speed forward, multi-speed reverse Clark 32000 Series powership transmission. For more information on the products and ser- vices of Douglas Equipment,

U.K. Ports Prove Attractive

To RoRo Business

The ports of Weymouth and Port- land in the U.K. offer good opportu- nities for the development of high- speed and traditional cross-channel ferry services for passenger and freight traffic. Weymouth's RoRo terminal currently serves the Con- dor high-speed catamaran services to the Channel Islands. The Condor 10 has a capacity of 570 passengers and 85 cars on a service which boasts a quick turnaround and speeds up to 40 knots. Weymouth and Portland Borough Council, who manage the Port, are looking to de- velop other high-speed services. Port- land harbor, reportedly Europe's largest man-made harbor, will be available in 1995/96 for use as a commercial port when the naval base closes. The port provides a deep water harbor with a minimum of 28.54 feet (8.7 m) available at all states of the tide. For additional information on the services of the ports of Weymouth and Portland,
