This initial order introduces a tailored solution to meet the evolving logistical demands of Alliance Automotive, developed through client discussions and visits to customer sites. It represents a significant evolution from their previous curtainsided double-deck design.

Built to accommodate Alliance Automotive’s diverse payload, including parts for cars, light commercial vehicles, and trucks. The new 4.95m high trailers feature a robust 'Wedge' box van double deck design including a full-length 10-tonne capacity lifting deck platform.

The trailers feature Don-Bur's single ram + rope & pulley lifting deck system. This design delivers a smooth, balanced lift while ensuring operational efficiency and ease of use, a key reason why Alliance Automotive chose Don-Bur.

Inclusion of an 1800mm platform two-tier column tail-lift with a 1500kg capacity enables the flexibility to deliver direct to store.

The final design allows for quick loading of both decks at a loading bay while enabling easy offloading at stores using the tail-lift.

This bespoke design caters for Alliance Automotive’s operational requirements, streamlining their logistics operations while improving the safety and efficiency of loading and offloading processes. The compatibility with their new tote and dolly systems ensures faster, more efficient transportation.
