The division transports light, staging and video equipment across Europe for world-famous bands such as Coldplay and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The trailers, which join the fleet of more than 60 trucks and 80 trailers, have been supplied with reinforced steel front and rear corner posts to ensure critical loads are protected and secure during transport, both on land and during sea crossings.
The box trailers incorporate Schmitz Cargobull’s Ferroplast panels, which are thinner and stronger than glass-reinforced plastic and so provide additional internal volume.
Kevin Hopper, managing director at Brian Yeardley Continental, says: “When we buy Schmitz Cargobull, we know what we are getting is a quality trailer that’s built to last and can withstand hard work and at times poor roads.
“That makes them perfect for our operations, whether the trailer is working on our general cargo work in Europe or live events – we know what’s on board will arrive at the delivery point still in the same condition as it was loaded.”
Four of the new trailers are Mega Cube curtainsiders with Schmitz Cargobull’s sliding roof, which can be raised on one or both sides.
Hopper adds: “Each trailer we order is tailored to our needs and that of our customers, which can be very specific in the music and entertainment business. We always know we can get any maintenance support through Schmitz Cargobull’s service partner network across Europe, which gives us complete confidence in getting to a venue on time.”
