Dale Brothers freshens up its fleet the COOL way

Telford-based temperature-controlled transport specialist Dale Brothers has freshened up its fleet with three new S.KO COOL semi-trailers from Schmitz Cargobull.The mono-temperature, box-body reefers join the fourth-generation family business’s 110-strong trailer fleet as replacements. Approximately 60 per cent of Dale Brothers’ trailers carry the blue elephant logo.

Two of the trailers have pallet boxes for runs to the continent and all feature disc brakes as part of a fleet standardisation policy designed to ensure assets can be swapped in and out of the operation as required.

The trailers, which feature Carrier Transicold refrigeration units, are constructed with Schmitz Cargobull’s proven FERROPLAST technology. This combines the increased insulation of a polyurethane hard foam with a durable and resistant covering of multiple layers of coated metal. The resulting energy efficiency reduces fuel consumption and boosts the performance of the vehicle.
