Astride the Pennines – March 2022

Telford based transportation company, Dale Brothers UK, has taken delivery of six new refrigerated trailers, each mounted with the company’s first Carrier Transicold Vector HE19 MT (high efficiency multi-temperature) units. A Carrier Transicold customer since 2000, Dale Brothers’ six new 13.6 metre Chereau trailers replace older assets. Eight more identical trailers are expected for delivery this year. “We first started using Carrier equipment when we bought some second-hand trailers mounted with their systems,” said Neyland Dale, managing director. “Combining Carrier Transicold E-Drive all-electric technology with a new multi-speed engine design, the Vector HE19 unit delivers up to 30% fuel savings and the system is also 19% more efficient when plugged into the electrical grid on standby.”
