Willi Betz has taken delivery of 50 Schmitz Cargobull freepost curtainsider trailers. The trailers will operate out of the German haulier's Derbyshire facility and be used to transport automotive components on behalf of one of the company's blue chip customers.
They were built at Schmitz Cargobull's factory at Harelaw, County Durham, using the patented bolted and galvanized manufacturing
technique, designed to make loading and unloading easier and safer. Schmitz says that with no pillars to locate, the freepost design offers clear side access along the full length of the trailer.
Willi Betz has facilities across Europe and the Middle East and operates a central purchasing policy across the company. Simon Lings, UK automotive business manager at Willi Betz says: "It is the company's policy to always specify Schmitz Cargobull products when additions to the trailer fleet are needed.
"We are a multi-national operation and it is our German parent company's policy to reduce the number of suppliers it deals with. Our group has operated Schmitz Cargobull trailers for several years now and we are more than happy to use them in the UK - particularly as the trailers are UK-built."
