LV Shipping & Transport TIPs the balance with 16-trailer order01 October 2020

As part of a long-standing relationship between the two companies going back many years, LV Shipping & Transport has recently taken delivery of 16 new trailers from TIP Trailer Services, comprising a mixture of Dennison PSK flats and extending flats, as well as four new SDC curtainsided trailers.

The four specialist SDC curtainsided trailers are working within the company’s UPN pallet network operation, and include three double deck trailers as well as one standard 13.2m trailer that has a Dhollandia tuckaway tail lift specified. They are working on palletised freight distribution within the UK network, UPN, which currently has over 90 members covering the whole of the UK, and European partners providing coverage through 26 countries. They are being used by LV Shipping mainly on trunking operations to UPN’s central hub in Lichfield, as well as on local deliveries within the north-east.

The 12 new Dennison flat trailers within the LV fleet are working within the oil, gas, steel market for existing customers all over the UK.

All 16 of the new TIP supplied trailers are replacing existing trailers within the LV fleet in the UK, and have been taken on a five-year deal with TIP Trailer Services, that includes full repair and maintenance.

Currently, LV Shipping runs 23 tractor units, various sized rigid trucks and 60 assorted trailers, consisting of a mixture of flats, extended flats and skeletal trailers, as well as curtainsiders with sliding roofs and double deck trailers. LV Shipping & Transport is based in Middlesbrough.
