MCGREGOR LOGISTICS TAKES ON NEW REEFERS
McGregor Logistics has taken delivery of 10 new Schmitz Cargobull S.KO
COOL reefers to meet increasing work volumes.
The new trailers will run on multi-drop fresh and frozen work across the UK and internationally and are expected to cover up to 150,000kms a year.
They join McGregor Logistics’ existing fleet of 40 multi-temp units and 70 fixed roof curtainsider trailers – more than 70% manufactured by Schmitz Cargobull.
The box bodies are constructed using Schmitz Cargobull’s patented FERROPLAST technology – a high-quality expanded, closed-cell, polyurethane foam housed between steel skins. This technology ensures a complete vapour diffusion-tight surface, meaning each S.KO COOL trailer is energy efficient, hygienic, age- resistant and easy to repair.
