Fountain 'C' series car trailers set the highest standards of build, efficiency and safety

Developed from the ground up to provide significant improvements in many areas of car trailer design, the new Fountain Trailers 100, 200 and 300 'C' series are said to be stronger and smoother riding than existing designs.
In outline, 100, 200 and 300 'C' series models span payload capacities of 900 to 1225kg, 1500 to 2000kg and 2000 to 2450kg with bed lengths, depending on model, ranging from 3350mm to 4880mm (11 to 16ft) and bed widths from 1650 to 1910mm.
The Integra axles are also new. Co-developed by Fountain with Al-Ko, Europe's leading supplier of trailed vehicle components, the Integra trailer axle features a unique independent suspension system.
Using established rubber suspension and damping technology, the axle's outer tube has an irregular hexagonal form, with a three lobe inner tube connecting to the wheel suspension arm. The rubber elements are sandwiched between the tubes, the irregular shape of the two tubes having been developed to provide progressive springing and damping through rolling the rubber element.
During development, the Integra axle was shown to provide improved ride characteristics, with far gentler reactions to road imperfections than traditional designs and have a low centre of gravity. This helps improve a trailers stability, particularly at higher speeds, and improve both towing comfort and safety. An added feature of the Integra axle is the use of additional mounting brackets for greater strength and stability.
Fountain has also changed the way in which it builds 'C' series trailers. The major sub-assemblies are made from laser cut blanks, this gives the new trailer its high strength to low weight ratio. This high grade steel is then precision pressed into the main trailer sub assemblies. Each sub assembly is then individually galvanised and bolted together forming the complete trailer chassis. Traditionally with other methods the steel is pre galvanised before laser cutting and pressing, and all these exposed edges will in turn corrode and can reduce the overall quality of the trailer.
"Car trailers are an integral part of motor sport," says Fountain Trailers director Chris Fountain. "I know from my own 13 years of experience of competing that moving a track car can be a real headache without a decent towing vehicle and trailer. Our new 'C' series are designed for both professional and keen amateur outfits, with a range of design details that can make all the difference. Our comprehensive accessories enable a given trailer to be specified to meet exacting individual demands."
