Independent freight forwarding and logistics company Davies Turner has expanded its fleet of Krone hanging garment mega-trailers as demand grows for its UK, Ireland, and Morocco trade routes.
The latest investment brings the company’s fleet of trailers dedicated to its Moroccan services to 35 high-specification units, which the company said reflects rising demand in the fashion, retail, and automotive sectors.
The new trailers, supplied by Krone, feature steel walls, roofs, and doors, offering superior protection against break-ins and stowaways.
All trailers are also fitted with GPS satellite tracking and remote door monitoring systems, ensuring real-time visibility and security throughout the transport process.
Davies Turner said it has seen a significant revival in the UK-Morocco fashion trade, along with increasing volumes in automotive components, particularly related to electric vehicle production.
The expanded fleet will support daily full load trailer services and groupage options running Thursday to Saturday for both imports and exports.
With a standard transit time of four to five days between Morocco and the UK/Ireland - reduced by 24 hours for express services and as little as 72 hours with van transport - the services offer flexible solutions tailored to varying client needs.
Davies Turner’s long-standing presence in North Africa includes a joint cooperation with local business DTCO MAROC, and its own dedicated overseas delegate based in DTCO Maroc’s office in Tangier.
The company said this presence enables it to navigate complex customs procedures at Tangier Port and ensure smooth, efficient clearance through strong partnerships with clients’ customs brokers.
The company has also helped establish a specialist load management organisation in Morocco, overseeing garment, carton, and commodity handling across factories, ports, and free zones, as well as supervising deliveries within key cities such as Tangier, Rabat/Sale, and Casablanca.
In Ireland, the company works with aerospace clients, with round-trip and one-way transport of boxed and tilt trailers to and from Morocco.
The company also applies this agile just-in-time logistics model in the automotive sector.
Davies Turner’s air cargo and sea freight divisions have also expanded, supporting Morocco’s evolving supply chain needs. With direct imports of raw materials into Morocco from the Far East, Europe, and Türkiye, and exports of finished goods to the USA and Western Europe, the company is helping clients shorten lead times and reduce costs.
Looking ahead the company said: “With this strategic investment in its trailer fleet and continued focus on operational excellence, Davies Turner is well-positioned to meet growing demand for its services in the UK, Ireland, and Morocco trade - offering reliable, secure, and efficient logistics solutions across some of Europe and North Africa’s most important trade lanes.”
