Bathstore has chosen Cartwright Group's Clearlift demount body system, following a successful pilot scheme. It has taken delivery of 17 chassis installations, four drawbar trailers and 28 demount swap bodies as a result of the trial. Roy McCrudden, national fleet manager for Wolseley UK, Bathstore's parent company, says: "Bathstore is growing fast, and with that comes new warehousing facilities and a larger vehicle fleet.
"Cartwright's system benefits us as it means that we can hold our
products in a few central warehouses, ship them on to distribution centres and then on to customers. It means that handling of the goods is much reduced." The demount vehicles will be used for deliveries across England, Wales and Scotland, serving customers ordering online and from its 150 plus stores.
