The trailer features aerodynamic panel cappings, low-noise alloy Gripster floor surface, a Carrier Vector 1950 refrigeration unit, and BPW running gear and telematics system.
The 44-pallet trailer was first unveiled in 2010, but its design has been refined continuously since then. Gray & Adams estimates there are now more than 3,000 lifting-deck trailers built at its headquarters in Fraserburgh in operation on UK roads.
Also appearing on the company’s stand will be an 11-metre urban trailer, built for a high-profile restaurant chain. This trailer will have one longitudinal internal partition creating two lanes, a Tridec command steer system for optimum manoeuvrability, a 1,500kg Dhollandia column tail-lift and a Carrier Vector 1950 dual-temperature fridge.
Completing its line-up, Gray & Adams will be presenting an eco-friendly 26-tonne rigid, which is due to commence trials with the Co-op after the event.
Based on a diesel-electric Scania hybrid chassis, the truck’s 8.8-metre body will have a curved front and low-noise, Gripster alloy floor. Other features include an underslung Carrier Supra 1150U multi-temperature fridge, a 1,500kg Ratcliff power closure column tail-lift, and a JR Industries electric shutter door.
Joint managing director Peter Gray says: “This is a significant year for Gray & Adams so we’re very much looking forward to returning to the CV Show, and meeting up once again with many established and prospective customers.”
