Chester-based Farrall’s Group has purchased 20 new Freespan curtainsided trailers from SDC to boost its nationwide delivery service.
The ten 4.2m high and ten 4.5m high curtainsiders, built to the EN 12642 XL standard, incorporate a GRP dome to the front and vortex generator at the rear for enhanced aerodynamics, as well as an easy-access sliding coupling box, low maintenance drum brakes, full LED lighting and full height rear doors. They also feature SDC’s low-friction Easy Roll curtain rail technology.
Farrall’s MD Matthew Farrall said: “A few months back, one of our main customers stipulated that they require a Freespan trailer for their deliveries, and when we reviewed our options, SDC’s Freespan offered significant time savings. The new trailers reduce the potential for damaged stock and offer improved safety, which allows us to minimise vehicle downtime.”
The trailers, which joined Farrall’s fleet of 55 vehicles in February, were manufactured at SDC’s Toomebridge facility in Northern Ireland and finished at its Mansfield production facility in Nottinghamshire.
