Moving floor trailers for Williams

VonLOGISTIK express Presseservice

Williams Transport has taken four BMI moving floor trailers fitted with the Cargo Floor system from Ryder.

Two of the trailers will replace existing assets and two will expand its fleet for waste and recycling operations.

The trailers feature side-to-side electric roll-over sheets, extra wide rubbing plates, and steel-capping around the top reel. “We’ve dealt with Ryder on leased and rented rigid trucks and trailers for other parts of our operations – we’ve got a good history, going back seven years. It made sense to choose Ryder: they can supply pretty much any vehicle,” said Williams Transport general manager Malcolm Shovelton.
