Warren switches to Montracon

When Ipswich based Warren Haulage (incorporating Greenway Landscapes) was let down on the delivery of a bulk semi trailer, Wilcox stepped into the breach. Within just four weeks they built and delivered a tailor made solution based on a Montracon frame.

This was the trigger for Warren Haulage to switch its allegiance to Wilcox/Montracon for all its bulkers, with a second already in service and to be joined by four more as part of a development plan to bring the fleet to ten progressively over the next few years.

In addition, the company, which specialises in the movement of farm and forestry products and mulch/compost, has just taken delivery of its first machinery carrier. Supplied by Montracon from its ex stock programme, the trailer moves farm equipment and machinery. On high days and holidays, its commandeered for show duties - taking a selection from Warren's collection of agricultural tractors, including vintage units, to country shows and fairs across East Anglia.

More to come

'Value for money' is how Philip Stead, managing director of Arnold (Nottingham) based haulier Steads Haulage puts it. And he has just backed up his words by adding seven Montracons - six flats and an extendable - to his 50 strong trailer fleet. All were delivered ex stock.

If the Montracons maintain a clean sheet then it's a fair assumption that Steads will be adding more to its mixed fleet that also includes vans, curtainsiders and stepframes, says Philip.

The family run firm is ADR accredited and uses the flexibility implicit in a mixed trailer fleet to move a wide range of cargoes across the UK and Europe.

Word of mouth

A recommendation by a good friend confirmed by a good experience with a rental unit was enough to persuade OTR Tyres Ltd to opt for a Montracon flat to handle the movement of its earthmover tyres - to maintain stocks at its seven regional depots throughout the UK.
