Specialist heavy haulage trailer manufacturer Andover Trailers is sponsoring one of the leading privateer entries in the 2006 British Supersport Championship, Team BBR Mar-Train Racing.
This represents the first sponsorship agreement ever awarded by Andover Trailers, whose debut in the world of two wheel motorsport marks a stark contrast to its regular expertise manufacturing some of the strongest heavy haulage trailers in the UK at its facility on the Walworth Industrial Estate.
The sponsorship deal was signed after Mar-Train Heavy Haulage, one of Andover’s most prestigious customers, introduced them to one of the team’s confirmed riders for this season, Denver Robb, who they have supported for three years.
“The British Super Bike meetings attract around 40,000 spectators per race and are televised on Sky Sports Live, so it was an excellent opportunity for Andover to try something a little different,” says Ivan Collins, Sales Director of Andover Trailers.
“We are really looking forward to getting behind Team BB Mar-Train Racing when the season kicks off later this month,” adds Ivan. “The bikes are incredibly fast and very light, which is a rather different ball game to manufacturing trailers which carry items ranging from bulldozers and cranes through to access equipment and road-planers.”
One of the most recent trailers supplied to Mar-Train by Andover was designed specifically to carry wind turbine sections up to 32m in length and weighing in at approximately 80 tonnes. It most recently played a key role helping to build a 130 mW wind farm in south Ayrshire, which represents the largest onshore wind farm in the UK , providing electricity for 80,000 homes.
