AGS European ups fleet flexibiilty with Krone curtainsiders 23 May 2013

AGS European has chosen Krone for its latest curtainsiders, with four Profi Liners with sliding roofs joining it 200-strong fleet.

Steve Mott, AGS operations manager, says it was an easy decision, given Krone's ability to enable flexibility, with side and roof loading.

"We needed at least 2.6m under the cant rail to load double-stacked pallets, while at the same time keeping within the European 4m height maximum," explains Mott.

"So the low- height Krone chassis was just right for the job... And these Profi Liners have another operational benefit: the Multi Lock side rave," he continues.

"The system has multiple strapping and fixing points and allows us to quickly and safely secure odd shaped loads anywhere in the trailer. This saves time, improves our load capability and keeps the whole thing safe."

Running through Dover to the Benelux countries, the trailers make two round trips per week – and hence the value of the EN code 12642 XL – which certifies structural and load securing standards.
