SCHMITZ CARGOBULL SHOWCASES RIGID REEFER AT TCS&D SHOW
Temperature Controlled Storage & Distribution (TCS&D) Show, Stand D26, Peterborough Arena, 16/17 September 2015
Visitors to Schmitz Cargobull’s stand at the TCS&D Show have a unique opportunity to have a hands-on look at the latest in rigid bodied reefer technology.
The M.KO, built on a 26-tonne Scania chassis, showcases Schmitz Cargobull’s capabilities in rigid truck bodies, using FERROPLAST® technology to build a structure with a long life expectancy that is easy to recycle at the end of its working life.
Available in multiple configurations, the M.KO will demonstrate the latest load restraint technology integrated into the ‘airline’ floor. Thanks to Schmitz Cargobull’s extensive manufacturing capabilities, up to 15 of the rigids can be produced each day, meaning that even customers placing large orders can fit out their fleet in very short lead times.
Simon Lake, National Sales Manager - Truck Bodies at Schmitz Cargobull, says: “The M.KO offers huge potential for UK fleets as it’s built to the same high standards customers have come to expect from our trailers. By using the latest technology, it’s a low-noise temperature controlled solution that’s perfect for all conditions, but particularly for operations in residential and urban areas.”
Easy to wash down with smooth surfaces and seamless connections, the M.KO promotes exemplary hygiene, while its vapour diffusion-proof body maximises payload throughout the vehicle’s lifetime. The use of a galvanised and bolted chassis plus FERROPLAST® panels means that maintenance requirements are low and repairs are easy to make – backed up by Schmitz Cargobull’s pan-European service network.
The M.KO also offers the latest in load restraint technology for safe operation and its high residual value makes it a financially sound choice for fleets looking to stay at the forefront of technology.
