AET celebrates 40th
anniversary as new
Krone trailers join
the fleet
Curvin Transport, the general
haulage arm of AET Transport
Services, have added a
further 9 Krone Profi Liner
curtainsiders to their UK
and European fleet. Based
in Poole, Dorset and part of
the 40 year-established AET
Transport Group, Curvin
Transport is using the new
trailers for general distribution,
including palletised freight,
on national and international
routes.
According to AET Managing
Director Andrew Trotter, the Profi
Liners’ loading flexibility is an asset
to their operation.
“These curtainsiders are fitted with
sliding roofs which is ideal for fast
and secure loading - especially
when dealing with outsized loads.
Additionally, they are fitted with the
standard Krone Multi Lock loading
system which has around 130
lashing points along each side rave.
This provides virtually unlimited
strapping options and means that
the cargo is firmly secured at any
point along the trailer bed.
Furthermore,” adds Andrew “the
curtain straps can be accessed
from outside and inside the trailer,
which is a plus-point for driver
comfort and safety.”
Manufactured at Krone’s dry freight
trailer plant in Werlte, Germany, the
Profi Liners are Code XL -certified
which, says Andrew Trotter, is
important to satisfy VOSA security
criteria and an absolute must for
European work.
“These trailers are built for
pan-European operations
and in that regard, ideally
suited to our diverse
customer base. Simply
put, they represent value
for money, flexible loading
and are more than up to
the job our customers
require.”
AET, established in 1977, provide
a wide range of road, rail and sea
logistics solutions, from machinery
and heavy plant removals to
complete factory relocations.
The company also includes Eaton
Poole, another well-established
transport and storage operation
whose activities dovetail with the
wider group to provide national
and international pallet-network
services.
