Fruehauf helps fuel Carnegie’s agricultural work

Carnegie Fuels has taken delivery of six Fruehauf tippers after being impressed by the build quality of two trailers it bought from the manufacturer.

The fuel distributor and haulier said the new stepframe Smoothsider tippers would be used on the agricultural side of the business, moving malt and barley to whisky producers in Scotland and potatoes to food firms across England.

Director Kevin Carnegie said: “The initial trailers from Fruehauf were the perfect spec for our business and really impressed, so it was a no-brainer to put in a larger order to help with the company’s growth.

“Thanks to the firm’s significant production capabilities in Grantham, it was able to deliver these new units in time for this summer’s harvest, unlike other trailer manufacturers who were offering much longer lead times.”

The 70 cubic yard capacity tippers are specified with remote-controlled weigh loaders and electric easy sheets, both of which can be operated by the driver from inside the cab.
