Evans Transport has just taken delivery of a brand new Cartwright 45ft artic trailer complete with mounting kit for a Moffett Mounty forklift.

The Moffett has also been provided by Cargotec on a trial basis to try this new venture which if successful the forklift will then be purchased.

The purpose is to provide the end user a solution where the forklift can be dismounted and the goods are unloaded without the need to hire in there own or have the laborious task of taking it off by hand.

The forklift is capable of lifting 2 tonne so bulky pallets can also be offloaded.

This month sees the introduction of 9 new Volvo FH500 globetrotters and a new Cartwright Tail-lift trailer completed in SR Furniture livery.

The tail-lift trailer will be used within the general haulage fleet around the country and gives customers the opportunity for some goods to be offloaded without the use of a forklift.

8 of the new Volvos are in Evans Green and Red and the last is in White and has gone into our Seymour operation. The trucks will be seen across the general, brick, and tipper sections of the business.

They have all come equipped with extra-large lockers, fridges and built in Sat Navs to aid driver comfort. All the new vehicles are Euro 6 engines which will replace the euro 5 models we currently have.

Evans have recently taken delivery of 4 new Cartwright 15.6m trailers.

These longer than normal trailers will join our other 3 Longer semi-trailers in serving the Evans palletised services night trunks.

In using these longer trunk trailers it helps reduce the amount trucks run on the road due to bigger load capacity and ultimately lower our carbon footprint.
