• Schmitz Trailers is to supply 1,000 swap bodies to rental company Grand Transport Systems, and it is hopeful that orders for another 1,000 will follow.
Preston Allen, managing director of the manufacturer's UK marketing subsidiary, says the deal is probably the largest to date for tilt swap bodies.
The 7.15m-long bodies are built in Schmitz's factory in Munster. They have fold-away Legs and Allen says they can be carried on road, rail or sea.
However, Allen has shelved plans to set up a UK subsidiary assembly plant. Three months ago , he said he was on the verge of going into partnership with one of two UK bodybuilders (CM 9-15 August).
