Krone raises ‘transport solution
bar’ as Keyo enters 50th year
Keyo, the agricultural
services, logistics and
equipment hire specialist
has added a Krone Dry Liner
box trailer to its fleet which,
says the company, in its
50th anniversary year, marks
a step up in load security,
volume and build quality.
Based in Scunthorpe, North
Lincolnshire, Keyo’s services
include complete door-to-door
logistics as well as module
fabrication, repairs, third party
forklift servicing and spot hire
and refurbishments. The Dry Liner
from Krone is being used for rural
deliveries throughout the UK.
“We deliver to farms, often with
restricted access, throughout the
UK and our cargo requires delicate
and safe handling.” Comments
Managing Director, Mark van den
Bos. “Consequently, we required
a box trailer which would combine
strength, security and maximum load
space within a 4m overall height.
With the Krone Dry Liner, we have
all this and more.”
Manufactured by Krone in Germany,
the Dry Liner specified by Keyo,
comes with a steel roof, hydraulic
tail lift platform - which folds up to
serve as the rear door – two rows
of recessed LoadLok and drum
brakes. Furthermore, for daily forklift
use, the floor is tested to 7 tonnes.
The construction is also certified
to European standard, Code XL.
“The attention to detail is excellent.”
Adds Mark. “The Krone Sales
Manager guided us through every
stage of the specification and in our
opinion, the technical knowledge
and advice was second to none.”
In this regard, Krone achieved an
internal height of 2615mm, with a
fifth wheel height of 1250mm, within
the maximum European-permitted
height of 4m.
“This is our 50th
anniversary year,”
concludes Mark van den
Bos “and I’m pleased to
say, even in today’s highly
competitive market, this
standard of trailer and
back up from Krone raises
the transport solution bar
and enables us to live
up to the high calibre of
service our customers
have grown to expect!”
