New Krone Container Carrier Trailer for UK and Ireland
28th November 2017
Krone has introduced a new container carrier trailer for the UK and Ireland and the first consignment has been taken by H B Commercial, the vehicle service, parts, rentals and sales group.
The new ‘Box Liner’ trailer is manufactured by Krone in Europe and HB Commercial have agreed to be a Krone service agent and replacement parts distributor for the East of England.
The Box Liner was designed with close involvement from the Krone UK sales team – primarily to ensure compatibility with the UK and Irish market. The sliding chassis is quickly and easily adjusted to carry any standard sized dry freight or tank container and its no-frills specification ensures easy and fast operation.
According to Krone’s UK Sales Manager Jason Chipchase, the new Box Liner combines features which have been tried and tested over several decades with the latest paint application process and cutting-edge telematics technology. The result, says Jason, is a no-nonsense specification built for loading flexibility, asset management control and a long working life.
As an additional extra, the Krone Telematics package enables HB Commercial and their customers to monitor tyre pressures, mileage records for maintenance intervals, empty running or reduced-load miles, braking system status and trailer location. Additionally, an automatic notification can be given to alert regarding ABS or EBS malfunctions and a further alert made to the customer if any remedial work has not been carried out within a given time frame.
From its four locations, in addition to vehicle rental, sales and parts supply, HB Commercial provides a comprehensive range of commercial transport and PSV vehicle support services including 24 hours assistance, accident repairs, tachograph data inspection, VOSA ATF work stations, refrigeration service, MOT preparation, roller brake testing, quay fuel services and vehicle washing.
