MONTRACON Semi-Trailers For Sale

Montracon Trailers Overview

A British company, Montracon is one of the major players in the road transport trailer market. They are based in Doncaster, England, and have manufacturing plants at both Market Weighton in England and in Northern Ireland at Mallusk.

The company offers excellent support through a team of field engineers and commits significant resources to research and development. They also offer trailers built to specific customer needs. Montracon builds tipper bodies along with fridges, box vans, curtainsider trailers , double deckers, skeletals and flats. With such a wide range of trailers, they probably offer more choice than any other trailer manufacturer in Europe.

Montracon's attention to detail and dedication to quality can be seen in their approach to building fridge bodies. The company makes its own fridge panels on site to make sure that its customers benefit from the best quality and thermal efficiency possible. Styrofoam is used in the process because it does not use any CFCs or HCFCs in the construction process and is therefore better for the environment.

The panels are also highly water-resistant and the Styrofoam build adds strength to the completed fridge unit. Montracon trailer chassis are also two-pack painted and come with a five-year warranty. These are just some of the ways that Montracon strives to deliver a top-quality product.

Ballyvesey Holdings

There is no doubt that Montracon offers one of the best and most complete ranges of trailers around. Now part of the Ballyvesey Holdings Group, the company blends sophisticated research and development with the real-world expertise of its vastly experienced and talented field engineer team. The company is especially proud of its ability to work closely with its customers, allowing the engineering team the time and space to understand the customer's requirements and build exactly the trailer that they need.

Full-Range trailer Manufacturer

The company offers a full range of trailers, including box vans, curtainsiders, double-deckers, flats, fridges and tippers. Customers also benefit from an end-to-end trailer production package and a very valuable five-year guarantee. Montracon also knows that its products are only as good as the people who design and build them, and they have worked hard to grow their graduate training and apprenticeship schemes. This helps the company offer better continuity of service and allows them build a great reputation for customer care.

Montracon has worked steadily over the course of the past three decades to grow its position in the UK trailer market. This has involved a considered programme of steady expansion which has led to huge investment in plant and manufacturing facilities and continued improvements in efficiency of production. This planned programme of improvements and growth has resulted in a network of manufacturing plants that are the equal of anything in Europe.

Montracon is renowned for building the widest and most customised range of trailers of any of the big European manufacturers. This is a direct result of the company's focus on creating the most flexible production systems, which means that capacity can instantly be tuned to exactly match the demand created by customers' orders. Montracon's 5,000-trailer annual manufacturing capability can therefore accommodate any mix of models that is required.

Montracon is ideally placed in the centre of the UK, with its HQ in Doncaster. This is also home to its main UK manufacturing plant, and it has others at Market Weighton in England and Mallusk in Northern Ireland. At these sites Montracon has successfully melded the latest manufacturing techniques and equipment with the skills of its workforce in a combination that results in the highest quality of trailer building.

Specialist Trailers

In addition to the huge range of standard trailer types, Montracon also offers a unique specialist range. While other major players concentrate on volume builds, Montracon has always prided itself on its ability to bring its flexible manufacturing techniques to bear in order to create specialist trailers for niche customers. These trailers include demountable bodied trailers, drawbars, walking floor trailers and hook lift trailers. This last type of trailer is a reflection of Montracon's growing presence in the recycling and waste sectors.

Montracon clearly knows that in today's highly competitive road haulage sector it is absolutely vital for the operator to have the perfect trailer to meet their needs. While for the majority of operators this may mean simply choosing from the firm's range of box vans, curtainsiders, double-deckers, fridges, machine carriers, flats, skeletals and tippers, it is refreshing to encounter a major supplier that can still respond positively to specialist needs.
