To be most effective, they need pairing with the correct height wind-deflector on the unit I believe.A big firm could save thousands in juice per annum if they do a lot of M-Way work.
Does anyone know of you can retrofit the roof to a standard curtainsider or is it not that simple?
Actually the wind deflector is on the front of the trailer. Retrofit would not be worth the inveastment I suspect. You may notice that they usually don’t have rear doors (no need as they are loaded from the side) and on the latest ones the curtains pull right round to the rear - this is so they can be pulled back out of the way before the trailer goes into the shed. For safety reasons (the FLT drivers drive like maniacs), once inside the driver is not allowed out of his cab.
Yeah, and it’s only when you pull outside to close your curtains, you realise the muppets have put bread on the bottom and caterpiller engines on the top of the double deck trailers.
[zb]’ muppets literally stuck a load of gearboxes or something like that up there on me once, I told them to shift them, they said there was nowhere else they could go, so they ended up on the floor of the warehouse. That was UPN btw. The forkies there are like the automated robots on a Startrek film where the Enterprise is being repaired again.
My experience is with palletforce. FLT drivers at base get severe bollocking for loading heavy stuff on top. FLT drivers at the hub will report any they find and the home depot can be fined.
