Polyframe – The largest
fleet in the industry?
When you fabricate in excess of 10,000
frames per week, you need to guarantee
that all deliveries are covered. With four
factories and a nationwide network of 14
trade centres, the logistics of organising
nationwide deliveries on a five day lead time
is a serious business. As a result Polyframe
recently invested in six, new 18-ton trucks,
one new 7.5-ton truck and two new 3.5-ton
Luton vans, taking the total number of
vehicles in the fleet to over 30.
Chris Watson, Group MD, commented,
“The Polyframe fleet has grown beyond
recognition over the past few years, from five
or six vehicles five years ago to the staggering
number we are at now. As a business we cover
the whole of the UK and Ireland so we need
to ensure that we can meet all our customers’
delivery schedules, on the tightest of lead
times.”
The new vehicles will be based at Halifax,
Norwich and the Composite Door factory in
Mansfield. Vehicles are central to Polyframe’s
‘Clearly Greener’ recycling scheme – all
vehicles bring post-consumer waste back to
their depots.
