ACT and BonaIlack
II Orders placed with two British firms for 150 insulated and 650 general cargo containers, together worth more than £0.5m, were announced by Associated Container Transportation Ltd. soon after the opening of the International Freight Container and Contamer Handling Exhibition at Earls Court on Monday.
The contract for insulated containers, has been awarded to BonaHack Freight Containers Ltd, They will be of the Lloyd's-approved Coldsaver type, 20ft x 8ft x 8ft, constructed with steel and aluminium alloy frames, panelled with light aluminium alloy sheet, and insulated with polyurethane material alid will be built by the Basildon Group's subsidiary, BonaIlack Refrigerated Vehicles Ltd., of Norwich. The ACT order is the latest in a series of similar contracts gained by BonaHack over the past 18 months.
The 650 general cargo containers are all to be built by Adamson Hatchett Ltd, a member of the Acrow Group of Companies. These will be of Lloyd's-approved 150 type, steel framed and panelled with light aluminium alloy sheet.
The Bonailack and Adamson Hatchett orders bring the total number of ACT containers currently in service or on order to well over 6,000, including some 1,700 insulated models. Other types in USE with the con sortium include special 3.800gal capacity bulk liquid containers, arid, more recently, a number of open top containers.
Crane Fruehauf
• An export order for 3,400 dry freight containers worth over f3m was announced by Crane Fruehauf Trailers Ltd. during a Press conference at the London Hilton last Friday.
The order from Seatrain International S.A. of Rotterdam, an affiliate of Seatrain Lines Inc. of New York, USA, is for the 40ft-long K82 aluminium container incorporating an underfloor tunnel arrangement to allow operation with gooseneck skeletal chassis. This reduces overall height during road transportation.
Crane Fruehauf claims it to be the biggest ever container export order, exceeding the total containers exported by all UK manufacturers in 1968.
The contract to supply matching specialist container carrying skeletal semi-trailers, for the Seatrain road link in the UK, has also been won by Crane Fruehauf, Because 2,000 containers are required by the end of November, three-shift working has been introduced at the Dereham factory and the labour force has been supplemented with women.
