Howard Tenens Logistics invests in Krone trailers

Trailers
Gloucestershire-based Howard Tenens Logistics has invested in new Krone Box Liner FS10 skeletal trailers in response to growth in its container logistics business.

Based in Stroud, Howard Tenens Logistics has 20 facilities covering England and Wales, operating more than 220 vehicles and over 350 trailers.

Alan Pellow, national fleet and compliance manager at Howard Tenens Logistics, said: “We have seen significant growth in the number of enquiries for port logistics contracts. The pandemic and Brexit have created a lot of opportunities, typically for three to five-year contracts.

“We rented some trailers initially to meet this demand but ultimately decided to buy some more as that is more economical in the long term. The Krone trailers came highly recommended by some friends of mine who work in logistics.”

The FS10 uses a flat chassis configuration with a sliding bogie for carrying 20ft, 30ft, 40ft and 45ft containers. Krone container chassis come with fold-out and retractable container locks, and extendable under-run protection. They come with a 10-year guarantee against corrosion perforation.
