Schenkers, as many TIR operators know, handle most types of cargoes to almost any place in the world. So what's so unusual about a 71/2-ton (750-kilo) load between Bristol and Sweden?
This was a crate about six feet square and 141/2 feet high: contents Gelli, a Masai giraffe. The crate was mounted on an ultra-low trailer which was pulled by a tipper!
