Don-Bur has delivered 16 newly designed 13.6m long Box Van Lifting Deck trailers to Alliance Automotive in NAPA Auto Parts livery.
Built to accommodate Alliance Automotive’s diverse payload – including parts for cars, light commercial vehicles, and trucks – the new 4.95m high trailers feature a robust “Wedge” box van double deck design including a full-length 10 tonne capacity lifting deck platform.
The single ram plus rope and pulley lifting deck system delivers a smooth, balanced lift while ensuring operational efficiency and ease of use.
Inclusion of an 1800mm platform two-tier column tail-lift with a 1500kg capacity enables the flexibility to deliver direct to store.
The design also allows for quick loading of both decks at a loading bay while enabling easy offloading at stores using the tail-lift.
They are constructed using Don-Bur’s proprietary “Blade” panels – a lightweight and durable 7.5mm composite material, ensuring high impact resistance and extended service life.
Don-Bur’s patented coupling system also allows drivers to couple from the side of the vehicle and eliminates the need to access the catwalk.
The bespoke design caters for Alliance Automotive’s operational requirements, streamlining their logistics operations while improving the safety and efficiency of loading and offloading processes.
Compatibility with their new tote and dolly systems ensures faster, more efficient transportation.
Daniel Challinor, Commercial Director at Don-Bur, said: “Partnering with Alliance Automotive on this project is a testament to Don-Bur’s engineering expertise and adaptability.
“These tailored Box Van Lifting Deck Trailers are built to enhance their logistical operations, and we’re confident they will deliver outstanding performance.”
