Victoria, Australia: Lineage Logistics has taken delivery of eight 24-pallet Schmitz Cargobull refrigerated trailers.
The trailers will be used for local work for Lineage’s customers in Victoria and have Schmitz Cargobull’s latest in-built racking system.
“The roof-mounted load bars are attached to the trailer itself, so there’s no issues in losing load bars which happens in traditional equipment,” says Lineage Logistics general manager of transport for Australia, Justin Ryan.
“This was the main reason why we decided to go with Schmitz for this order, in addition to the fact that they were able to offer us a short lead time.”
“With these 24-pallet configurations we get an extra capacity per trip as opposed to an extra two spaces per trip, so in the end it helps us with high utilisation in our loads for our local distribution,” Ryan says.
“There was a bit of a focus on trying to get the overall weight of the trailers lower to allow for more capacity as well.”
Each of the eight trailers are fitted with Carrier HE19 fridges as well as temperature tracking, under-run protection, stability control and digital weight scales.
The order was Lineage’s first in Australia with Schmitz Cargobull.
