Description:
Alutrec is a small, but accomplished manufacturer of aluminum semitrailers based out of Laurier-Station, Quebec. They've been operating since 1995 and were acquired by Manac in 2018. This mod focuses on their flatbed model, as an ownable trailer in various axle configurations commonly used in Quebec and Ontario.
Wheels:
This mod is intended to be used with my wheel pack. Make sure you have the Wheel Pack set with higher priority than the trailer(s) in the Mod Manager. You can use it without the Wheel Pack, but the default wheels do not look good on it. For best results, use version 1.5.1.1 or higher.

WORKSHOP
-----
Here's something I've been slowly working on since March. Corby was nice enough to send me one of his Alutrec flatbed models, which I've been tweaking, optimizing and texturing. This is going to be a 48' SPIF 3 quad (so tridem plus a self-steer axle at 72" - 72" - 100" spacings) which can legally gross up to ~134,000lb in Ontario with a long enough tractor. It's based on units in the Robert fleet, which have rather interesting construction, lacking rub rails and having routed windows for tarp straps.

It's shown here with a load of white spruce, which hardly weighs anything, but looks snazzy all the same.
