Nursery self tracking trailers are generally used for transporting potted plants to and from growing areas. Every nursery trailer runs on wheels which can have different tyres and rims with various characteristics and benefits. In the market, there are many different types of trailer wheels to choose from e.g. tyres on plastic rims, tyres on wheel barrow wheels, tyres on aluminium alloy rims, solid tyres, turf tyres all with different roller and precision bearings. It can be very confusing.

*[Mechanical Design Engineer]* An automotive transmission design customer needed help with designing an automatic transmission gear prototype. We suggested and engineered a more cost effective and practical way for the mass production stage.
*[Nursery Manager]* At an exhibition saw our self tracking nursery trailers and indicated he had a costly issue transporting large (heavy) pots containing advanced trees. Existing method was a bobcat. C-Mac designed and quoted for the manufacture of a Self Tracking “Low Loader”. His comment on the first day of using "Low Loader trailer":nursery-equipment/7-trailers/#low-loader-self-tracking-trailer “Can now move 100 litre pots with trees, 150 metres in 1 hr and not get a sore back”.
