UC Logistics & Forwarding BV in Amsterdam (UCLF) has purchased ten Talson TAG FNA high-security large-volume refrigerated trailers for the transport of air freight pallets.
The new trailers can load four air freight platforms with an area of 317 x 233 cm and a height of up to three meters. The trailers are equipped with a roller conveyor that can be operated pneumatically in four sections. Pallet stoppers are also built into the floor, which ensures that the airfreight pallets are secured.
Martin Kuiper, director of UCLF, is enthusiastic about these Talsons. “With our last investment of Talson Air Cargo trailers, our trailer fleet now consists of 50% Talson vehicles. These trailers will be used in our airfreight logistics operations. Our main reason for choosing Talson is its high quality, long product life, and its specially designed features for fast loading/unloading and load security.”
The insulated special trailers with GRP side panels are also equipped with a cooling machine and a safety package. Incidentally, they can also be loaded with conventional pallets.
For perishable goods and flower transportation in the air cargo business Talson TAG FNA vehicles are integrated with roller beds to facilitate speedy loading and unloading operations.
The Talsons are mechanically and electronically secured and connected via Transics’ TrailerGuard system. The UC organization receives permanent position and status information. This information can be shared with clients.
Essential for UCLF are the quality, safety, and modular construction with standard components. “These trailers have parts from, for example, ZF, Wabco, BPW, and Carrier. They can be used in logistic operations all over Europe.”
