Boughton Engineering Limited products

Boughton’s now ubiquitous hook loader product remains the UK market’s equipment of choice. Introduced in 1973, it is still recognised for its simplicity of design and operation, rugged strength, durability, reliability, ease of maintenance and longevity. The highly acclaimed Kwikcova auto-sheeting system, an original patented innovation pioneered by Boughton and designed to be integrated with the Boughton hook loader, is still regarded as the industry best practice solution. Its in/out sheeting arm arrangement facilitates easy loading and sheeting, whilst remaining within maximum width in transit. Configurations available for three axle operation at 26,000kg GVW or four axle operation at 32,000 GVW. Matched Boughton design tri-axle close coupled trailer options available for operation up to 44,000kg GTW.

Boughton’s Power-Reach skip loader range, introduced in 2013, marked the first comprehensive ground-up design review and whole of concept development programme of the type for a generation.  Boughton also undertook an exhaustive research and development programme, which included wide consultation with industry and operators.  As a result, Power-Reach offers improved functionality, serviceability and safety features, with greater productivity and operational reliability. The Boughton Intacova, a fully integrated, patented and within width auto-sheeting system, is the option of choice for most Power-Reach applications.  Both Power-Reach and Intacova have quickly gained popularity and following amongst operators, large and small and continue to gain market share. The flagship Power-Reach PR18 variant, designed for operation at 18,000kg GVW spearheaded the new range, with a PR12 model, for operation at 12,000kg GVW, now also available and other variants to follow.

Boughton close coupled trailers are designed and built to a premium specification and to both match and optimize operations when used in conjunction with other Boughton equipment. The current Boughton tri-axle 24,000kg design incorporates a wide range of technical features, including the option for Boughton’s Kwikova auto-sheeting system. Available in trailer lengths of 20` or 22`, the Boughton Tri-axle Close coupled trailer can be operated with the Boughton Hookloader to provide a matched combination for operation at up to 44,000kg GTW.
