Barnsley, England- Tapfreight Ltd., a specialty chemical and pharmaceutical transport and warehousing company in Barnsley has received 11 new Schmitz Cargobull S.CS FIXED ROOF curtainsider semi-trailers. These trailers, built at Schmitz Cargobull’s Manchester facility, will replace units from a rival manufacturer in the company’s fleet. The company plans to use them alongside its modern DAF and Mercedes-Benz tractor units for transporting chemical goods and general freight across the UK.
Mr. Bob Milton, Director at Tapfreight, said “These are the first trailers we have had from Schmitz Cargobull and we’ve been hugely impressed from start to finish. The price point was very appealing and when I went to inspect the trailers, I was really struck by the build quality. Now we have physically taken delivery of the trailers that quality has been reinforced.
Mr. Aaron Howarth, Area Sales Manager East Midlands at Schmitz Cargobull, the new S.CS FIXED ROOF curtainsiders comply with DIN EN 12642 Code XL load security regulations and feature a bulkhead specific for the British market. They are built on Schmitz Cargobull’s fully galvanised MODULOS chassis which comes with a 10-year warranty against rust-through and have ROTOS axles covered by a 1,000,000km or six-year warranty, whichever comes first.
Each S.CS FIXED ROOF semi-trailer has a straight front wall for free side loading and tarpaulin tensioning, an XL load securing side curtain with standard anti-theft protection and a Schmitz Cargobull aluminium roof which allows a side loading height of 3,100mm. They are also fitted with Schmitz Cargobull’s Trailer Connect telematics as standard, which provides 24/7 monitoring of the trailer’s exact location, plus other important data including tyre mileage, speed and axle load.
