When speed is of the essence

Construction trailers with express production service: The new S.KI can be delivered within seven working days following receipt of the order.

Horstmar/Gotha, April 2016 - If a customer requires a quick replacement for a broken down tipper trailer for construction site use, they no longer have to rely on stock or used trailers available at short notice. Schmitz Cargobull offers especially rapid order processing – construction and delivery within just seven working days following receipt of the order. This express production service is available for the S.KI 24 SL 7.2 tipper semi-trailer series. A rounded steel body with a storage volume of approx. 24 m³ is included as standard in the delivery. Furthermore, the customer has the option of determining the trailer specifications and paintwork.

These limited selection options include:

·  a standard trailer frame or a weight-optimised extra-light frame,

·  an external steel tailgate with a seal or a steel tailgate with a chute,

·  six steel or aluminium wheels,

·  a paint finish in one of the five (RAL) colours – nova grey, carmine red, ultramarine blue, light grey and pure white.

The shortened delivery time of seven working days, in contrast to the typical delivery time of six to eight weeks, has already been successfully introduced in Germany and in other European markets.
