Fairfax Meadow taken delivery of two new DAF 26t Multiple temperature Rigid vehicles

Fairfax Meadow have recently taken delivery of two new DAF 26t Multiple temperature Rigid vehicles supplied by Prohire Limited, national contract hire and fleet management provider.

The vehicles which have been supplied on long term contract hire including full repair and management, along with the all-inclusive maintenance of the Thermo King refrigeration system and DHollandia slide-out tail-lift includes a number of driver orientated and safety features including automatic transmission, red seat belts, air conditioning as well as being suitable for operation within the new extended London low emission zone with the fitment of appropriate camera systems, and left hand turn audible warning both external sounding for pedestrians and cyclists plus in-cab warning for the driver in the event that a vulnerable road user is within close proximity of the nearside of the vehicle.

Load temperature stability is a key element for Fairfax Meadow who deliver a wide range of meat products to hospitality and foodservice venues throughout the UK, so this is achieved by a combination of the Solomon Insulated body and the Thermo King T1200 Spectrum multiple temperature unit capable of dealing with both chilled and frozen meat products.
