Network International chooses fuel-efficient Dennison Trailers
Global logistics provider Network International, has taken delivery of a new fleet of fuel-efficient, aerodynamic trailers from Dennison Trailers.
The new trailer fleet, built by Dennison at its Lancaster manufacturing plant, has been specifically designed to meet the rigorous, yet flexible requirements of Network International.
Utilising the latest Dennison aerodynamic design, the double deck curtain sider trailers feature a staggered load deck at the rear. This maximises flexibility when loading the trailer, especially with mixed or groupage loads.
The trailers are built to withstand the rigours of heavy freight movement and feature a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), heavy duty BPW axles and quality Aspock lighting for all external road lights.
The fully bolted body is designed for maximum rigidity and strength while the galvanised rear door and front pillars prevent corrosion from salt water and road grit. In addition, front corner protectors are fitted to reduce impact and damage from trees on countryside routes.
The aerodynamic roof design ensures airflow over the front of the trailer is improved, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency for the operator.
The lower deck floor is manufactured using a sustainable, heavy duty 29mm hardwood while the upper deck features a composite grid floor that ensures an ideal balance of strength and vision through the floor – particularly useful for operators when loading.
The curtain sides are fully branded with Network International livery and can be opened from the front or rear, providing loading and unloading flexibility.
Behind the curtains, full length, semi-opaque load restraining nets are designed to improve load restraint, enhancing safety during transport and helping prevent loads from moving and shifting.
They allow the operator to visually check the load condition without having to climb inside or fully remove the restraints – improving safety and security and ensuring compliance, in-line with the latest EN-1295 load restraint standards.
