Malcolm Logistics opts for SAF Axles
Reducing running costs, weight saving and outstanding guarantees, are just three of the many benefits for Malcolm Logistics in choosing SAF Axles for their latest order of replacement tri-axle semi-trailers. Steve Sugden, Group Fleet Engineer for Malcolm Logistics explained, "We have recently placed an order with SDC Trailers for 200 replacement semi-trailers, each constructed to the new EN12642XL certification for increased body strength and a more stable and and stronger unit. The fully integrated SAF Axle system with its light suspension and low maintenance costs for the future, will help us to continue delivering a first class service to our customers and ensure our operating costs are kept to a minimum." Steve continued, "We opted for the SAF tri-axle INTRADRUM system after evaluating alternate systems on the market and came to the conclusion, based on the specific loads we carry, that SAF ticked all the right boxes at this time. We were also impressed with IMS Ltd, the exclusive distributors of SAF in the UK and Ireland, for their knowledge, experience and empathy during the specification process." The SAF INTRADRUM is an integrated and cost-efficient air suspension system, excellent for transport companies and fleets, highly reliable and very easy to maintain. This product is currently the lightest on the market with strengthened components for severe loads and incorporates 40% fewer parts than rivals." SAF INTRADRUM products come with a competence guarantee of 1 million kilometres up to 6 years on the complete unit for on-road versions and 500,000 kilometres up to 3 years on the complete unit for the off-road versions.
