Gray & Adams develop reefer with first automated roller-bed loading system
By Jim Gibbins - 1st March 2020
UK - Trailer manufacturer, Gray & Adams Ltd (G&A) of Fraserburgh, working in partnership with perishable cargo transport specialist, Perishable Movements Ltd (PML), has engineered an innovative refrigerated trailer with an automated loading and unloading system that features a powered roller-bed floor from Joloda International Ltd of Liverpool. (The new PML vehicle has been purchased by Farnborough Van and Truck Hire and contracted to PML).
G&A says the new power roller-bed floor system enables the automated loading and unloading of containers via a series of drive rollers built into the floor surface of the trailer. With remote operation integral to the design, the trailer has been developed to allow safe and efficient operation where personnel are not able to access the interior of the trailer throughout the loading process. The speed of discharge can be controlled from the control panel to ensure the operation is carried out accurately and safely.
