Frank Rogers chooses Michelin X One MaxiTrailer tyres
Cheshire-based bakery Frank Roberts & Sons has added two new Cartwright Multi-deck trailers fitted with Michelin X One MaxiTrailer tyres to its 70-strong fleet.
Having gone to bespoke manufacturer Cartwright looking specifically for a high trailer with extra load capacity, Frank Roberts & Sons took the decision to trial the X One MaxiTrailer tyres for the improved stability they would provide the 4.5-metre-high trailers.
Director of Logistics Mark Owen says: "We've only heard good things about the MaxiTrailer tyres - and from several sources. We thought it was high time we gave them a try.
"We will be monitoring their performance carefully," he adds, "and if they do as well as we expect them to, we may well specify Michelin X One MaxiTrailer tyres for several more of our vehicles."
The new trailers will be in operation for approximately 20 hours a day, seven days a week, taking deliveries from its headquarters in Northwich to customers all over the country. Like the rest of the direct delivery fleet, they will be covering a distance of approximately 200,000km annually.
