From humble beginnings with only a single used terminal tractor seven years ago, chilled transport and storage provider Buffaload Logistics has seen its partnership with Kalmar grow as its business has expanded.

Buffaload Logistics operates the largest independently owned double-deck trailer fleet in the UK. Founded in 1995, the company has grown from operating two temperature regulated vehicles from a family farm in the Cambridgeshire Fens into a complex collections and cross-docking logistics organisation with a fleet in excess of 240 vehicles and with storage capacity of 236,000 square feet.

In addition to its head office at Ellington in Cambridgeshire, the company has strategically located main depots at Crewe, Newark, Avonmouth, Chichester, Ely and Skelmersdale.

Buffaload Logistics operates around the clock, seven days a week so uptime is absolutely critical.

One of the main disadvantages of using road trucks was that they are not designed for multiple trailer changes at all hours of the day, which meant running costs were much higher.

The terminal tractors are also safer and more comfortable for the drivers to operate. The company’s drivers are operating within busy and relatively confined spaces which can be negotiated more efficiently in a terminal tractor. This improved mobility also minimises damage to goods, which makes the job of yard and site management easier.

The high pallet capacity facilitated by Buffaload Logistics’ investment in double-deck trailers not only reduces road miles. It also minimises vehicle requirements and fuel consumption – all of which contribute to lower CO2 emissions.

The company aims to become the leading – and most environmentally-friendly -- chilled distribution company in the UK and plans to become carbon neutral by the end of 2020.
