Standing the test of time: TMT

Standing the test of time, TMT Tanks & Trailers continues to innovate by offering customers cutting-edge products for a wide range of applications. Recently, the Italian OEM has developed an electric axle moving floor semi-trailer, container moving floor and is working on a steel semi-trailer.

From a 75,000-square-metre facility in the centre of Italy, TMT Tanks & Trailers has capacity to build about 300 trailers per annum and is rapidly growing. The business has also bolstered its aftersales support with a network of workshops and sales personnel who are poised to serve quickly and efficiently. TMT predominantly services large European companies and is focused on increasing production and attracting new customers abroad with its innovative road transport equipment technologies.

“The Italian market is an established market and we now want to grow in the same way in Europe,” said Alfredo Spinozzi, CEO at TMT International. “The most complex step will be to become a major player outside Europe as well. We already sell in Australia and have developed an optimal kit to distribute our semi-trailers worldwide.”

TMT is particularly ineterested in expanding in the US and United Arab Emirates with the aim of increasing the value of ‘Made in Italy’ around the world.

At this year’s Transport Logistic event in Munich, Germany, TMT Tanks & Trailers showcased its ongoing development of intermodal solutions.

The OEM is proud to be the first Italian company to win a Trailer Innovation award in the ‘body’ category.

L'unico al mondo container Moving floor, vincitore del Trailer Innovation Award 2023

The high cube and open top pallet Container Moving Floor trailer is a unique design and one of of TMT’s flagship products.

TMT has also produced an e-axle moving floor trailer.

“The aim of the product is to charge and discharge the moving-floor trailer via a battery connected to the axle,” said Spinozzi. “The axle will charge both when braking and in motion and is designed to give maximum utility to the driver. We are currently testing our prototype which you can see at the trade fairs we are attending. We are currently working on the battery part to lighten the weight and to have maximum performance for loading and unloading goods. The main idea was to create an autonomous semi-trailer that could also perform while uncoupled from the truck.”
