The delivery includes around 30 units covering the full range, includingsemi-trailersand body structures.
April was a busy month forCTE TRAILERS BULGARIA. Our colleagues south of the Danube made deliveries to an impressive number of their key clients. Among them wasTRANSPRESS, which has renewed its fleet of semi-trailers and upper structures with another 30 units.
Thus, for their partner in excellence,TRANSPRESS,CTE TRAILERS BULGARIAdelivered 10 box van semi-trailers, 5 of which wereKrone Dry Liner box van semi-trailerswith standard volume, and the other 5 were Krone Dry Liner Mega models with increased volume. What's interesting about these units is that they're prepared for double-deck loading and are equipped with 12 sets of double-deck Airline rails installed in the side walls at a height of 1,600 mm from the roof, as well as 23 double-deck bars, each supporting a load of just under 1,000 kg. These box van units are designed for increased loading area, with the loading height extended by 90 mm.
The delivery forTRANSPRESSalso includes 5 new standard curtainsider semi-trailers from the new generation Krone Profi Liner. The weight of theseKrone curtainsider semi-trailersis reduced to 6,190 kg (+/- 3%), which means they can carry a greater payload. They come with the award-winning Multilock system, featuring lashing points every 100 mm for load securing. The new generation Krone Profi Liner semi-trailers also stand out thanks to a redesigned door and floor construction.
Both types of box van semi-trailers have been ordered with a Krone telematics system, which allows for position and door control, as well as processing of other operational data for the semi-trailer, sending error messages from the braking system, and indicating whether the semi-trailer is coupled or uncoupled. The box van units have been ordered with 24-month contracts for maintenance and service of the telematics system.
A further 15 plywood body units are yet to be delivered, intended for chassis-cab trucks, which will be especially suitable for TRANSPRESS's palletized operations.As always, the guarantees provided are of particular importance when purchasing semi-trailers. In this case, the manufacturer Krone offers a 10-year chassis anti-corrosion warranty. This is possible thanks to the steel part processing method, which includes shot-blasting and cathodic dip coating (CDC) for corrosion protection, as well as the full chassis powder-coating process and high-temperature curing. All these measures ensure long-lasting rust protection. Due to fully automated technologies implemented, KRONE's semi-trailer chassis are unrivaled in coating quality and also have a very fast production cycle – it takes under 7 minutes to process a single chassis.
