Don-Bur has secured a £3 million contract to update the trailer fleet of one of the UK’s leading logistics specialists in fulfilment, mail and parcels.
The Stoke-on-Trent-based trailer and body manufacturer will be supplying 20 double deck trailers to Whistl over the next 18 months.
The design of the trailer has been developed for high volume pallet and cage transportation in a collaboration between Don-Bur, TIP Trailer Services and Whistl.
The new trailers will be equipped with specialist safety features, and an aerodynamic roof design means they will benefit from enhanced fuel efficiency.
They will also be fitted with roof-mounted solar panels and feature a fresh and simplified Whistl brand livery.
Daniel Challinor, Don-Bur’s Commercial Director, said: “This trailer is the result of close collaboration between Don-Bur, TIP, and Whistl.
“It’s an excellent example of how advanced engineering can enhance both safety and efficiency for high-volume operations.”
Ian Keilty, Whistl Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are delighted that by working in partnership with Don-Bur and TIP we have developed a trailer that meets our operational, safety and environmental needs.
“It gives us greater efficiency whilst reducing our impact on the environment.”
