On the demanding forest tracks of southern Scotland and northern England, Dumfries timber haulier John Miller Transport relies on Dennison skeletal semi-trailers to deliver the goods. Its 55 strong complement of tractor units pulls a fleet of around 70 trailers and in a normal day’s work around 20 own account operators are usually called upon to help with work volumes.

John Miller has no complaints at all about its decision to purchase Dennison trailers and feedback suggests they’re performing very well indeed, coping the rigours of this tough and demanding industry sector which operates in all weathers.“Dennison trailer chassis are well known for their strength and durability and they have certainly proved themselves on our kind or work. We use them in some of the harshest conditions around – muddy, rutted, unmade tracks and some of the worst weather in the UK,” said John Miller Transport Director John Hunter.

“We get first rate service from the Dennison timber skellies and their light weight means they have an excellent payload capacity. The rear sliding bolster helps keep the on-board Loglift crane working well within its safe limits, when loading or unloading and this moving unit also assists when full of logs, by closing the gaps between the ‘bunks’ (round timber bunches) before they are secured by retaining straps.” John Miller specifies BPW axles with drum brakes for their robust, top quality Dennison chassis, which are additionally fitted with Exte bolsters and Loadmaster on-board weighers.

Dennison Trailers is the UK’s leading skeletal trailer maker by far, with a range of models available to suit every application, each one designed to meet the exacting demands of operators.And Dennison’s FastParts spares operation helps reduce downtime thus keeping all Dennison trailers on the road, where they belong.
