The LPG supplier Rectory Gas Supplies has taken delivery of two flatbed Krone trailers with drop sides.
Based in North Yorkshire, Rectory Gas Supplies provides LPG to individual, business and trade customers across Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and Humberside. Supporting a period of company expansion, the new units will be put to work covering the Norfolk area.
David Barton, operations manager at Rectory Gas Supplies and co-owner of the business, said: “We needed two trailers for transporting gas bottles and cylinders from our headquarters to the Norwich depot, and to bring back the empties. The Krone trailers are exactly what we were looking for as they are robust and easy to use - and built to a high standard.”
The trailers feature fully welded, double-T longitudinal beams and cross members, and a 40mm thick hardwood floor. Load securing positions are provided every 100mm and the units are fitted with Krone’s multi lock side rave. This is part of a multi safe load securing system to reduce the chance of a load becoming detached. Multi lock has 126 strapping points on either side of the vehicle which allows more than 3,000 ways to secure a load. This can be combined with screwable pallet stops, lashing rings or a chain adaptor.
Barton added: “Overall, we are very happy with the trailers and with the overall service from Krone UK. They stuck to their word on everything, we never had to chase them, and everything was done to the letter. The driver who makes the runs to and from Norwich is very happy with them as well.
“Our business continues to grow because we work hard to provide a quality service at a competitive price. That means we need trailers that are easy to load and unload, as well as being durable enough to deliver a strong return on investment. At the end of the day we are transporting gas, so safety is paramount. The Krone trailers meet or exceed every safety standard and requirement.”
Krone will be exhibiting at Road Transport Expo, which takes place at NAEC Stoneleigh between 4-6 June. Registrations are now open, so book your free place now!
