SCOTTISH CONSTRUCTION and logistics firm Malcolm Group has bought its first moving floor trailers from French trailer manufacturer Legras Industries.
The company has invested in eight Legras moving floor trailers to transport newspaper, magazine and waste paper out of Scotland to north Wales to be recycled into newsprint.
Chief executive Andrew Malcolm says quality and service is vital and comes from continual investment in the latest vehicles, cutting edge technology and training. He says making the decision to source Malcolm’s rolling stock from Legras for the first time was easy thanks to the quality of the trailers.
“This is our first order from Legras, but hopefully we can work together again,” he says.
The trailers will haul loose bulk materials like newspapers and magazines, woodchip or fragmented products, and backload palletised goods like glass bottles, drinks and paper reels, which will reduce empty running.
Specification for the trailer includes a 106m3 capacity aluminium body, lightweight Mercedes-Benz disc brakes, Haldex EBS Brakes, wireless remote control for working floor, and on-board weighing devices.
