Designed to optimise intermodal transportontent title
The new vehicles, designed to optimise intermodal transport, have a height-adjustable VARIOS body equipped with an anti-theft side tarpaulin and a reinforced anti-theft roof tarpaulin, the Schmitz Cargobull Safety Roof, which ensures the safety of the load.
In addition, the trailers are equipped with ferry equipment and TIR certification, which facilitates transport with various modes of transport and shortens handling times. The galvanised chassis with a 10-year warranty ensures a long service life and increased corrosion resistance.
"The installation of the TPMS and the TrailerConnect® telematics service package, which provides detailed information on the condition of the semi-trailers and triggers an alarm in the event of incidents, underlines Marcotran's commitment to safety and efficiency," says Javier Espliego, Key Account Manager at Schmitz Cargobull.
The vehicles are financed by the Schmitz Cargobull subsidiary Cargobull Finance and are covered by full service contracts.
The Europe-wide Schmitz Cargobull Service Partner network was an important part of the purchase for the Aragonese company. Around 1,400 authorised workshops throughout Europe, 105 of them in Spain alone, offer services for semi-trailers, tyres and telematics systems and have an extensive stock of spare parts.
