PBS Combinations
PBS (Performance Based Standards) are new design standards that allow truck and trailer combinations to be designed to safely carry larger than normal payloads and improve road transport efficiency. Within reason, PBS combinations allow a great deal of flexibility on the normal road transport equipment dimensional and design restrictions – the only limitations are your imagination.
PBS combinations are available across the whole range of Lusty EMS trailer models.
Freighter Group continues to be the single biggest producer of PBS approved trailer combinations for our customers. See how our in-house PBS experts can help you to carry greater mass or volume per trip.
