New box trailers for Carpet Logistics provide increased safety and performance

Published: 17/09/20

NTEX offers a unique logistics service called Carpet Logistics. Focused on carpets, Sweden and Norway are serviced with carpet transports from both the Netherlands and Belgium. In September, seven new box trailers were put into use, completely adapted for Carpet Logistics with better performance and increased safety for the drivers.

Since 2011, NTEX has offered a unique logistics service focused on carpets. Via Carpet Logistics, they serve the Swedish market and today they handle several departures a week from Belgium and the Netherlands. Thanks to NTEX freight forwarders Johan Gårdh and Johan Asservik, seven new, specially adapted box trailers have now been put on the roads.

- After nine years, it was time to replace most of Carpet Logistics box trailers. Seven new trailers are now in operation, at the same time as older units have undergone a facelift. Based on our solid experience, both the old and the new trailer sides have been further strengthened to withstand even more pressure from the carpet rolls, says Johan Gårdh, Forwarder at NTEX.

The new units are also equipped with a front liftable axle and modern LED lights to improve the working environment for drivers. In addition, the floor has been reinforced and is now equipped with better loops to secure the goods.
