Martello Transport is strengthening its container haulage capability with 18 new Krone Box Liner sliding skeletal trailers, adding capacity and flexibility to meet what the company describes as strong demand across the UK’s export and import markets.
Based in Felixstowe, Martello Transport operates nationwide container haulage services, linking all major UK ports and freight hubs. The new trailers will handle a wide range of standard containers, including import and export cargo, as well as ADR-compliant loads where required.
Explaining the decision to buy Krone, Director Danny Huwen says:
“We’ve bought from Krone before and found their product to be standing the test of time. Great quality, combined with their ability to meet our exact requirements, made the decision straightforward.
“Each trailer comes with a 10-year paint warranty against rust and combined with the robust construction, we know they will stand up to heavy, daily use over the long term.”
Martello’s fleet now exceeds 150 vehicles, and the company continues to expand.
“Demand for container carriers is strong,” says Danny.
“The UK’s container movement is resilient, and customers are increasingly looking for reliable, flexible haulage solutions. Investing in new, high-quality equipment will ensure we stay ahead of demand.
“Also, the telematics and tyre-monitoring systems give us real-time diagnostics, which helps maximise uptime and plan maintenance more efficiently.”
The Box Liners feature robust steel construction with welded cross members and double longitudinal beams, reinforced parking brakes, and extractable rear bumpers compliant with EC regulations.
Founded in 2017, Martello Transport has grown into a nationwide operator from its Felixstowe base, combining container haulage with specialist transport and rail interface services.
