The trailers feature Varios Top Technology, which gives Alcaline the flexibility to alter roof heights to comply with different regulations across Europe, and the equipment is also certified to EN12642XL for load retention.
Lorenzo Zaccheo, managing director of Alcaline, says: “Using Schmitz Cargobull equipment has always saved us time and money, and their height-adjustable trailers mean we can work smarter and more efficiently. As we don’t need to buy certain trailers to work in certain countries, they also simplify operational planning.”
Each of the new trailers is built on a Modulus bolted chassis and comes with a 10-year warranty against rust-through on all galvanised parts, reducing maintenance costs and boosting residual values.
Zaccheo adds: “The easy maintenance, low wear and tear, parts availability and Modulus chassis make Schmitz Cargobull trailers excel among others.
“We’ve got some Schmitz Cargobull assets that we’ve used for a decade and still in excellent condition. However, given we’ve got a lot of work in mainland Europe, we need a service network we can trust wherever we are, and Schmitz Cargobull is the only trailer manufacturer that can offer us that support.”
