Eye-catching trailers join Clive Cowern’s fleet

The curtainsiders are the first new Schmitz Cargobull products to join the Shropshire business in more than 40 years of operation. They replace older equipment in the fleet of 60 trucks – a mix of Scania and DAF tractor units – and a mix of 50 trailers.

Designed for the UK market, the S.CS FREEPOST comes without sliding posts. It offers quick, easy and safe side loading by incorporating a bolted galvanized steel cant rail and fixed aluminium roof sheet, as well as a reinforced chassis structure. The trailers also comply with DIN EN 12642 Code XL load security regulations.

Clive Cowern’s new additions feature Alcoa Dura-Bright wheel rims, additional storage boxes and anti-theft curtains to ensure load security. The trailers are already hard at work delivering mainly palletised goods including food, drink and fuels – such as logs and charcoal – to retail locations, including garden centres and petrol forecourts.
