Transport Engineer / July 27, 2015

Shetland Transport has taken delivery of two more Gray & Adams curtainsider semi-trailers, with another four on order, after its first two units delivered last year performed “flawlessly”.

The 13.6m units are equipped with low-emission Thermo King SLX-e 400 refrigeration units. Heavy-duty insulated curtains ensure temperature integrity, as well as providing side access loading capability that Shetland Transport founder and managing director Hamish Balfour values so highly.

"The first two have performed flawlessly in terms of their strength and component reliability, while we've had no issues with regards to temperature control either," confirms Balfour.

"Most of our outbound loads are of salmon, and other fish, but we also carry a certain amount of what I call 'ugly' freight, by which I mean products which are particularly long or big and bulky," adds Balfour.

"Easy access side-loading capability makes the curtainsider particularly well suited to this type of work."

Shetland's trailers have specially strengthened chassis to prevent buckling and bending in rough seas during 12-hour ferry crossings.
