Chereau A leading French based European manufacturer of refrigerated trailers and truck/van bodies, Chereau’s typical customer is the small to medium sized transport company that seeks to run its fleet over a longer period of time. International Trailers (Carlow) is Chereau’s Irish agent.
Don-Bur A ‘Wedge’ Lift ing Deck trailer capable of transporting 52 pallets took pride of place on the Don-Bur stand. Decked out in the livery of parcel delivery provider Whistl, it features a unique design using Don-Bur’s single ram and pulley lift ing mechanism. The trailer suits all standard loading bays without the need for additional dock equipment.

An 11-metre urban trailer, and eco-friendly 26-tonne rigid body were also shown.
