More pallets per run without adding a truck: Don-Bur's new 15.65m tri-axle Longer Semi-Trailer carries 52 UK pallets and 136.24m³, per SMMT's interview with Group Marketing Manager Richard Owens. Spec it with a full-length upper deck and that climbs to 60 pallets, built on Don-Bur's lifting deck technology and paired here with its EcoStream aerodynamic roof for the fuel side of the equation. For operators fighting driver shortages and yard congestion, that's fewer trailer movements per contract.
