A UNIQUE 'Wingliner' trailer from Don-Bur is set to cut the in-transit damage experienced by Christian Salvesen on its Rockware Glass contract. The 13.6m solidsided semi replaces a conventional curtainsider. It's lined with 32 PVC cushions moulded to support 26 pallets of fragile glass products.
This follows extensive operational trials where breakages were eliminated. Inspired by dray vehicles used in the brewing sector,the trailer has electrically powered 6.7m gull-wing sides, operated by buttons to the front and rear of the trailer. These give clearer access to the load, reducing the risk of injury from repeat loading and unloading and the strapping down of individual pallets.
