D-TEC was recently employed
to supply 16 Portmasters to Peeman Transport. We built these Portmasters
according to Peeman’s client-specific requirements. Director Jan Peeman says
about his purchase: ‘We opted for D-TEC again, because we share a belief in
continuous innovation based on a sound foundation. We have been dealing with
D-TEC for years now and have experienced the evolution of their products up
close and personal. And once you’ve already had over 100 D-TECs, you know what
you are buying: a good and reliable product! This time round we opted for 16
Portmasters, because we consider the Flexitrailer to be too laborious for short
trips. Especially since drivers are dealing with considerable fines in
Rotterdam for driving with extended trailers, they will no longer risk a trip
from one terminal to the other.
In addition, it involves
a lot of sliding which is not what you want. We also requested D-TEC to mount
the connection pieces for the swap bodies to the twistlock beam. Our drivers
experience dragging the pieces around as heavy and time-consuming, plus this
prevents a colleague from borrowing one for an extended period of time. Since
our customers are asking us to load tanks more and more, we have opted to fit
the chassis with a drip tray, hose hatch and storage chest in addition to the
ADR approval. In short, a light and flexible product that will certainly serve
us well for years to come!’
