Yuill invests in new trailers

Trailers
Scottish haulage specialist Yuill & Dodds has acquired 10 Tiger Trailer curtainsiders from Asset Alliance Group to help improve the efficiency of its waste recycling operation.

The Hamilton-based haulage company has taken the trailers on a five-year operating lease as part of its fleet renewal programme.

Joining a fleet of more than 100 commercial vehicles, the trailers will be driven by a mix of 6x2 Scania and DAF tractor units and each is expected to cover 160,000 km per year.

The assets will mainly be used for transporting waste products such as plastics, cardboard and paper from Hamilton and the central belt of Scotland to processing plants in South East England.

Brian Yuill, managing director of Yuill & Dodds, says: “We needed to upgrade our fleet with some quality trailers to transport lightweight, high volume recycled products from Scotland down south.”

“Their 4.5m height is helping us to improve the efficiency of our operations, allowing higher volumes to be transported to the processing plants on each individual trip,” he added.
