The Moray Council's X25

Continuing their relationship, started in 1998, Marco Trailers were again tasked with the manufacture and supply of trailers to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Due to its size, ease of handling and ability to be trailed by the MCA's fleet of Ford Focus sized vehicles, six Marco X25 2.5 metre exhibition trailers were chosen to replace four X45 4.5 metre training and PR units previously supplied and the role changed to PR use only.

The new brief was to supply six 2.5 metre units capable of being trailed by a small family saloon car and, when uncoupled from the towing vehicle, be easily manoeuvred on varying terrain by not more than one or two MCA volunteers. The trailer had to be quick and easy to set-up, carry enough promotional material to display the role of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and also promote safe maritime practice. When the order was placed in March 2004 the final specification included full wrap body graphics, digitally printed graphics panels, flags, headboard, full length brochure display with integral storage and leaflet dispensers.

Together with the latest flat screen technology, sound system and DVD player the MCA X25's attract attention by all means possible. The trailers are to be used at events and shows throughout the country and will be taken to some of the most remote parts of the UK proving that wherever they go the MCA, via the Marco X25, are sure to be noticed.

Adendum: In 2006, the current fleet of six were added to with an order for a further 3 units.
