SCOTTISH Road Services has had five Crane Fruehauf and Craven Tasker semitrailers converted by Curtamer Services of Glasgow for its Guiness contract.
British Rail's Rail freight division has the national Guinness distribution contract and SRS has been subcontracted to deliver kegs brought by rail from the Park Royal brewery in London to the Salkeld Street railhead in Glasgow. Each 12.21)1 semi-trailer, which operates at 38 tonnes GCW, can carry 360 kegs as a loose load or 330 palletised kegs.
The Curtainer Services keg carrying design, with two fixed and three removable pillars each side, was specified in preference to a conventional curtainsider mainly for its lighter weight, and beCause it does not restrict loading height when empty kegs arc carried.
