Amari Metals has placed an order for four Cartwright tri-axle curtainsiders to add to their existing fleet. Looking to improve the health and safety features of their trailers, Cartwright had recommended using the Cartwright clear span roof design with 4.2 metre pillarless construction for ease of loading.

Using the new design has a number of operational benefits; driver safety is greatly improved as there is no longer the need to manually move pillars and loading is made more efficient through a full, unobstructed side access.

Amari Metals, based in Wednesbury in the West Midlands, provide high quality customised steel and stainless-steel products, copper and nickel alloys and aluminium semi-finished products.

Antonio Esposito, Transport Manager for Perkins Distribution Service Centre, which is part of Amari Metals, commented: “Safety is very important to Amari Metals because of the products we carry.  We had ordered Cartwright double deck trailers in the past and were very pleased with the quality.

“This latest order for 4 tri-axle curtainsiders needed to be postless for safety reasons and Cartwright came up with the solution.  We were impressed by the organisation and their customer base providing trailers for the likes of Royal Mail.

“We are very satisfied with the quality and service and look forward to developing our relationship.”
