Heathrow, UK: Perishable Movements has added five Krone multi–temperature trailers to handle last mile deliveries.
Perishable Movements initially used sub-contractors for port freight but has acquired five Krone Cool Liner refrigerated trailers as it moves the work in house.
Martin Kopicki, transport manager, Perishable Movements, said: “Our owners recognised that the new red tape from Brexit would create opportunities for freight specialists like us. We have decades of experience in air freight, so it made sense for us to offer the same high level of service for port logistics. Having the right trailers is therefore vital to our business model.”
“We are running some single temperature trailers from Heathrow, as the loads are typically one product such as blueberries or blackberries,” Kopicki said.
“We needed more flexibility for our port operations, and the Krone dual temperature trailers enable us to split loads, optimising our efficiency. The drivers like them because they are not as heavy as other trailers, which they prefer for return journeys, and the Krone trailers are also very easy to use.”
