FreshLinc expands FLX dry freight fleet with new SDC trailers

Temperature-controlled operator FreshLinc has added 30 new SDC Freespan curtainsided trailers to its general haulage division FLX Logistics.

Based in Carrington, Manchester, FLX operates over 400 trucks and 1,000 trailers from six sites across the UK.

The new EN12642XL curtainsiders are a bespoke design with BPW Eco-Plus axles, Haldex generation 3 braking system, SDC’s easy-access coupling box and a full width rear compression buffer for added protection when reversing into loading bays. Load restraint is provided with deck lashing rings and high security mesh curtains.

FLX fleet engineer Andy Marchant said: “Our latest order of curtainsider trailers will allow us to expand our general haulage operation across the UK. We worked closely with SDC to come up with a trailer specification that will really benefit our operation and give our customers peace of mind for the security of their product.

“FLX delivers to national retailers, manufacturing facilities, wholesalers, garden centres and farms. Our fleet is all 44-tonne high cube trailers capable of loading up to 3.1m products through the side and all trailers are ADR equipped.”
