T. Quality has worked with Fraikin and commercial vehicle bodybuilder Paneltex on an all-new design of split-load rigid bodies. Mounted to three 7.5-tonne, five 15-tonne and two 18-tonne DAF LFs, the new bodies are said to have been totally reengineered to improve fleet efficiency and driver safety. Representing a mixture of replacement vehicles and new additions, the trucks will be delivered throughout 2021 as part of the company's seven-year, full-service contract hire agreement with Fraikin. A major part of the redesign brief was to swap the position of the refrigerated and ambient compartments, providing the Carrier Transicold refrigeration unit at the front of the vehicle direct access to the freezer section. The new layout removes the need for the extensive internal piping that previously connected the two, something that had caused maintenance issues and costly downtime. |
