Vicovanu Transport has expanded its container transport capacity with the delivery of 15 new Krone Box Liner sliding chassis trailers—bringing the company’s Krone fleet total to 90, with a further 15 on order.
Founded in 2013, Vicovanu is a family-run business that provides a diverse range of road haulage services across the UK. Operating from a strategically located base in Thurrock, Essex, the company also offers a wide array of multimodal logistics solutions, including road, ocean, and air freight.
“The Krone Box Liner continues to be our premium trailer of choice,” says Sergiu Vicovanu, Managing Director of Vicovanu Transport Ltd.
“Its versatility, build quality, and reliability are unmatched for our kind of high-intensity container work. We operate across the UK and Europe and these trailers give us the flexibility and confidence to meet every logistical challenge.”
The Krone Box Liner was developed in close collaboration with the Krone UK sales team to ensure compatibility with UK and Irish operational needs. The chassis offers fast and easy adjustment to accommodate all standard container sizes, including 1 x 40', 1 x 45', 2 x 20', or a 30' container, making it ideal for both domestic and international intermodal transport.
Its robust build features double T-longitudinal beams with welded cross members, along with an extractable rear bumper compliant with EC regulations. The trailer also includes a reinforced parking brake system on all three axles, providing enhanced safety.
Each chassis is equipped with Krone Smart Tyre Monitoring, compliant with ECE R141 regulations, which tracks tyre pressure and temperature in real time.
Additionally, the Krone Telematics KSC ProPlus Dry 2 system provides live error messages and full diagnostic data, including braking system status, trailer coupling information, mileage for maintenance scheduling, and GPS location—accessible through various WLAN applications.
All steel components are shot blasted, primed with CDC coating, and finished with a durable powder coat, providing long-lasting protection against corrosion. Accordingly, Krone backs the chassis with a 10-year rust-through warranty.
Operating 24/7, Vicovanu is FORS-accredited and specialises in container transport, providing full and part load haulage across the UK. Their services include imports and exports, express delivery, lift assist, and global distribution by road, rail, ocean, and air—supported by a professional team and a strong focus on customer care at all major UK ports.
