because of the additional payload offered by a Volvo F7 drawbar combination, according to general manager David Hall.
The vehicle is being used by Artland, to collect highquality cooked meats from its European factories for deliveries to its UK markets.
The drawing unit, a Volvo F7-20 day cab chassis, is fitted with a Windfoil over-cab sleeping compartment and is the third vehicle on which Christian Salvesen has been able to capitalise on maximum platform length within the 15m overall limit by using a Pietz extendable coupling. Both thin walled containers and the drawbar trailer were built by Gray and Adams of Fraserburgh.
Individual Carrier refrigerated units are underslung and coupled to remote evaporators.
By specifying aluminium wheels, on both the prime mover and the trailer, a payload of more than 17 tonnes has been achieved.
