• Magnet Joinery, now owned by the Berisford group, has invested more than Urn in a fleet of Volvo drawbar outfits.
The deal comprises 23 Volvo FL10-320 rigids, 1 2 trailers and 74 demountable boxes, the specification of which was developed in cooperation with Altrin cham bodybuilder Cartwright & Sons. Dry freight boxes are of 23mm GRP panelling with Henderson wide lathe shutters at the rear. Load restraint is handled by five rows of combined second-deck floor supports; roller tracking helps when loading worktops. A captive slide-out loading platform is stored between bedframe and body. When demounting, the box fronts are raised by Cartwright's Air-Lift pack: the rear is raised by Volvo's own air suspension system. Trailers run on ROR axles with Flexair sus pension—adjusting the air pressure allows the rear boxes to be offloaded.
