Thru-Way Trailers Hosts Gala Event
at CNE for Wind Energy Industry

Ontario fast-growth firm Thru-Way Trailers showcased the revolutionary BladeMaster wind turbine, blade trailer at their Size DOES Matter Gala Exhibition on September 17, to over 40 executives in the energy efficiency and transportation industry. The event was held at the landmark site of Toronto's first Windmill Energy Source, The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE).

"We are so proud of what BladeMaster can do for the emerging wind energy industry," says Saifu Mawji, Thru-Way Trailers president. "This event was a great opportunity to demonstrate how our technology can help this industry grow, how Thru-Way can be a pivotal part of such an important issue."

BladeMaster, the most advanced windmill blade trailer to emerge on the global market today, is a one-of-a-kind trailer designed to transport wind turbine blades easily and effectively. It is lighter, safer, more adaptive and cost effective than traditional trailers.

Attendees, including industry leaders from across North America, witnessed the unique steering capability first-hand as Thru-Way Trailers engineers demonstrated the technology by driving around the CNE grounds. Built around the Active Steering Metrics (ASM) designed by VSE, a leading-edge, trailer-systems engineering firm in Europe, BladeMaster maneuvered the narrow roads without difficulty.

"The ASM technology allows BladeMaster to easily and continuously drive around tighter corners," says Mr. Mawji. "This is ideal for transporting long and cumbersome windmill blades."

BladeMaster was built specifically for the Wind Energy industry, but the steerable technology can be applied to customized trailers hauling any type of load.
