KBC director and transport and compliance manager David Ashford said: “Our business has grown quite rapidly, so we ordered these trailers to support that expansion and future-proof our fleet. The service is excellent from Krone UK, and everything arrived on time. It was a very smooth process from start to finish.
“Our workshop team really like the Krone trailers as they are robust and have high build quality."
Added Allan McKee, area sales manager for Krone UK: “We have rapidly grown our business with KBC Logistics to the point that they now have a significant number of Krone Box Liners in their fleet. Repeat business like this underlines the confidence our customers have in the reliability and quality of the Krone skeletal trailers.”
