Fruit distributor Transpak Direct has taken delivery of seven refrigerated trailers from Schmitz Cargobull, designed to reduce drag and improve fuel consumption.
The Schmitz Cargobull trailers are up to 700kg lighter than competitor units and 100mm lower than those built on a full chassis. In addition, the thin insulation panels enable greater internal volume.
The new reefers, built on a semi-chassis design, replace older units in the Faversham-based operator’s 11-strong fleet and are used 24/7 to deliver to food service outlets, supermarket depots and wholesale markets across the UK.
