K Transport Services switches to Krone coil liners10 October 2011

K Transport Services has taken a fresh approach to its steel transportation by employing four coil liners from Krone Trailers UK to tackle the work.

In addition to the Wolverhampton-based firm's core transport and storage operation which includes steel, general haulage and abnormal loads to the UK and Europe, K Transport provides commercial vehicle servicing and repairs, MOT testing up to class 7, vehicle and trailer hire and paint shop facilities.

"We do indeed have a diverse transport business but we make maximum use of each of our 70 or so vehicles to ensure the wheels keep moving and our customers get a flexible and reliable service," explains managing director David Kay. "To this end, we specified the coil liners from Krone because not only do they enable us to carry a wider range of loads but also we can eliminate empty running, which of course is good for profitability."

He continues "The difference with these trailers is that they are very versatile. There is no restriction on anchorage points and therefore virtually any type of load can be firmly and most importantly, safely secured. It's a sort of one size fits all."

In addition to the Coil Liner's unique Multi Lock external frame with multiple strapping points and ten pairs of heavy duty rings, the coil well cover is easily handled and yet can withstand a forklift axle load of up to 5,460kg.
