About The 'Suffolk' Shepherd Hut Chassis:

Inspired by traditional Shepherd Huts, the Suffolk is a beautifully engineered steerable chassis. With its larger heritage turn plates, designed for stability and strength, combined with other crafted, heavy duty metal work, the Suffolk is an uncomplicated, practical and functional chassis. Customers will see that many of the metal parts are also used on the Clydesdale chassis.

The Suffolk chassis is, like the Clydesdale, very strong, with even more Oak used in its construction.

Customers will note from the pictures below that the Suffolk also incorporates traditional features and has the option of being supplied as a complete unit, fully assembled, painted/treated and finished, or in part form.  When supplied in complete form all timber used is planed, sanded and treated for an exceptional finish (see pictures). We only use stainless steel when metal fixings are in contact with oak as oak contains acids that corrode untreated iron or steel.

Other key features include:

• Chassis made from selected redwood with oak axles. Steel box section and stub axles are let into the underside for maximum strength.
• Strainer Bar which attaches directly to a bush on the centre pin and back to a cross member just forward of the rear axle.
• 24” and 32” diameter cast iron wheels.
• Fully detachable front draw bar designed with curved strengthener and forged towing ring with hand wound reinforcing clip.
