TOM Vehicle Rental has taken delivery of 20 fixed-roof curtainside semi-trailers from Schmitz Cargobull – its second major order from the trailer manufacturer, following a delivery of 31 reefers in November 2013.
The latest units join the Airdrie-based rental company's fleet of 500 trailers and 6,000 vehicles altogether, and are an addition to meet increased demand.
The trailers will go out on general hire immediately and are expected to be in operation for at least five years.
They have been fitted with plain blue curtains and were manufactured using Schmitz Cargobull's patented bolted and galvanised production methods, which removes the need for welding or paint repairs in the event of damage.
