Fraikin has signed a new full-service contract hire deal with insulation and drywall systems supplier Belgrade Insulations. As part of the seven-year agreement Fraikin will supply the company with an additional two 26-tonne Daf curtainsiders, each with a truck-mounted forklift located at the rear.
The vehicles are supplied with an Aztec window on the passenger side to give drivers improved blind-spot visibility as well as reversing and near-side cameras. Each vehicle will be in operation five days a week, transporting insulation and drylining equipment to builders merchants and construction sites across the country.
Alex Khan, MD at Belgrade Insulations, said a significant factor behind the deal was Fraikin’s ability to manage the financing, compliance and maintenance of the vehicles.
He added: “It allows us to focus on our core business activities, safe in the knowledge that a supplier with a strong industry pedigree is ensuring our vehicles are well maintained, efficient and fully compliant. Fraikin very quickly got a firm grasp of how we work, so we hope this will be the start of a long business relationship.”
