First French order for Cartwright double deck trailer22 October 2013

Cartwright has secured its first order in France for double deck trailers. The order has been placed by Pall-ex distributor Centre Express Limousin, after a visit to Cartwright's manufacturing facility earlier this year.

The two trailers will have an overall height of 4.6m. Bridge heights in France and across Europe would usually prevent ceiling heights greater than 4m, but the trailers will operate on specific routes to enable use of the double deck trailers.

The trailers have a fixed second deck, together with wrap around rear curtains and solid rear closures enabling loading from the side only. An aero-dynamic roof improves fuel efficiency.

The main deck floor is low in height, with a steel grille construction in the middle to prevent pallets from moving during loading or transit.

The trailers will be built at the end of this year and will go into service in January.
