Yusen Logistics has taken on its first Schmitz Cargobull trailers for a contract with an automotive customer in Burnaston, Derby.

The company has taken delivery of 30 S.CS FREEPOST semi-trailers to refresh older assets and said it was impressed with their build quality.

The semi-trailers will be used for quick, safe loading and unloading of automotive parts such as axles, engines and wheels by Yusen Logistics’ embedded team.

Yusen Logistics has put 30 Manchester-made S.CS FREEPOST semi-trailers into service.

Andy Davis, UK fleet manager at Yusen Logistics, said: “Schmitz Cargobull make a good quality product, and these trailers include several clever features to make daily use easier.

“As a fleet manager I consider the longevity of our trailers. The S.CS FREEPOST has a galvanised chassis, so I expect them to last and have a higher resell value than cheaper alternatives.

“It’s this combination of quality and design that ultimately convinced us to try something new,” he added.
