Ground-breaking double from Gray & Adams at the CV Show 07 March 2013

Innovation will be the theme at temperature-controlled semi-trailers and bodywork manufacturer Gray & Adams, when it returns to the CV Show next month (9—11 April).

Dominating its stand in the Cool Pavilion will be a 44-pallet lifting-deck trailer, supplied to frozen food storage and distribution business Reed Boardall, as well as an 18-tonne Mercedes-Benz Axor rigid with radically-styled Dolphin body in the livery of temperature-controlled storage and distribution specialist Chiltern Cold Storage.

The Reed Boardall trailer is a recent addition to the Gray & Adams range, incorporating a series of cleverly-engineered measures that allow operators to make practical use of every inch of space on the two decks.

Gray & Adams says that enables a 10% increase in carrying capacity, compared to a standard 13.6m double-decker, and claims that it is leading the way in 44-pallet refrigerated double-deck trailers.

"The extra 10% carrying capacity can be very useful," confirms Tom Cassells, managing director of Reed Boardall Transport. "The strength and build quality of [Gray & Adams] products translates into exceptional reliability and durability."

As for the recently launched Dolphin, this semi-trailer is all about aerodynamics to maximise fuel-efficiency. It features all-new leading-edge body cappings that follow the 3D curvature of the roof, and a vortex generator to smooth the airflow around the back of the vehicle.

"We are proud of our green credentials, so when Gray & Adams announced that it was launching the new Dolphin we had no hesitation in ordering three," comments Paul Jackson, managing director of Chiltern Cold Storage.

"All of our multi-temperature equipment is by Gray & Adams – its trailers and truck bodies are the best on the market, not only for their quality but also for the strong resale values they command."
