The curtainsiders – which were built at Schmitz Cargobull’s production facility in Manchester – will be used for general haulage duties across the UK.
Jason Lockwood, group operations director at Lockwood Group, said: “These are the first trailers we have had from Schmitz Cargobull and the early impressions are positive. We wanted to try something new and Schmitz Cargobull was able to offer us a very competitive price.”
The new semi-trailers are built on the manufacturer’s galvanised Modulos chassis, which comes with a 10-year warranty against rust-through. They also have ROTOS axles that are covered by a 1,000,000km or six-year warranty, whichever comes first.
Each new trailer features an XL load securing side curtain with standard anti-theft protection and a Schmitz Cargobull aluminium roof, allowing a side loading height of up to 3,100mm. Load security is enhanced further, with each body complying with EN 12642-XL specification – the highest level of load protection available.
