HISTORIC MILESTONE

GRANT KRUEGER NATIONAL SALES DIRECTOR

As we roll into July, we look back on our historic achievement in Krueger’s 45-year history. The project began with high-level meetings between Krueger and Linfox, focusing on the specific requirements of the order. Linfox required over 250 trailers to fulfil a new corporate contract, demanding a versatile fleet capable of handling a wide range of cargo types, including temperature-sensitive goods and bulk commodities. Additionally, Linfox’s dedication to sustainability necessitated ecofriendly features in the trailer designs.

Krueger’s project scope involved closely collaborating with Linfox to define a detailed trailer specification tailored for a retail dock loading application, essential for servicing a long-term contract.

Among Linfox’s requirements were a substantial quantity of curtain-sided and temperature-controlled freezer trailers, including B Doubles. Krueger responded by purpose-designing and constructing numerous curtain siders through its cuttingedge local manufacturing facility.

Leveraging our partnership with Schmitz Cargobull, Krueger designed and built a significant number of B Double chassis equipped with the Schmitz Cargo Bull freezer boxes. Furthermore, Krueger facilitated the importation of over 150 German-built, worldclass S.KO Cool body box semi trailers into Australia.

In March, our Victorian teams went above and beyond to not only manufacture within a very tight timeline but also take delivery of over 75 Schmitz Cargobull Freezer vans fresh off the boat from Germany and ready to roll.

In May, we repeated this success in Queensland, successfully completing the largest single order in the company’s history. Despite the challenges, Krueger was tasked with meeting a fixed timeline for trailer delivery to ensure Linfox could meet their client’s expectations. This milestone marks a significant achievement and showcases the collaborative effort and dedication of everyone involved in the project.
