The Sherborne-based wholesaler transports frozen, chilled and ambient goods across the South West, and its latest fleet additions are eight 18-tonne DAF LF250 rigids with Supra 1250 MT (multi-temperature) units and four DAF LF220 12-tonners with Supra 850 MT units.
Key to the choice is the Supra MT’s suitability for intensive distribution environments with multiple door openings.
“The Supra system’s quick pull-down time and ease of operation makes it ideal for our intense delivery schedule,” says William Harvey, operations manager, Hunt’s Foodservice.
“Our fleet operates around the clock... We required cooling systems that work fast, maintain temperatures at the desired set point reliably, and can handle the frequent, stop-start nature of our delivery cycle.”
The Supra systems are mounted to twin-compartment Jackson Coachworks bodies, and the 12 vehicles will be used intensively – up to six days a week in peak season.
Harvey adds: “The Supra system’s fuel economy has helped us keep our overheads down, and we’ve had nothing but positive feedback from the drivers, who find the systems easy to operate and consistently reliable.”
