Buffaload selects Carrier Transicold for fleet expansion deal

Temperature-controlled distribution business Buffaload Logistics is expanding its fleet with 15 trailers, all fitted with Carrier Transicold’s Vector 1950 units.

The Vector 1950 systems are mounted to 13.6-metre tri-axle Gray & Adams double-deck refrigerated trailers and will join the Cambridgeshire-based operator’s 140-strong fleet, which includes 100 temperature-controlled double-deckers.

“Carrier Transicold’s Vector 1950 system offers a perfect balance of reliability, low maintenance and high performance,” says Graham Usher, Buffaload’s sales director.

“The solution of a double-deck trailer with a Vector 1950 unit is an excellent combination. We can maximise capacity in our double-deck trailers, while minimising reefer unit downtime and protecting the cold chain.”

The new trailers are expected to operate around the clock, 365 days a year, from Buffaload’s four sites in the UK: its Ellington headquarters, plus depots in Avonmouth, Wigan and Livingston.
