Wiseman dairies chooses Crossland

The well-known Glasgow-based dairy, Wiseman Dairies, has taken delivery of a number of Crossland tankers over the last six months.

Wiseman Dairies chose Crossland Tankers

The most recent tankers to be delivered to Wiseman are six 26,000 litre articulated trailers. Wiseman has also recently taken delivery of five 16,000 litre rigid tankers from Crossland, which are fabricated from stainless steel with a top box designed to ease cleaning and improve hygiene. The tankers are mounted on tri-axle Volvo FM9 chassis cabs, with robust rear cabinets to house all data capture equipment.

All the new tankers are operating on farm collection duties for Wiseman, with three being used for direct milk supplies. John Kirk, Group Transport Manager at Wiseman Dairies commented: “We specified rear steered axles for all the farm collection tankers to improve manoeuvrability around farm yards. The rear steered axles also help to minimise tyre marks and damage to farms.”

He added: “We are in the process of updating our fleet, and Crossland have provided us with a large number of milk tankers over the last year or so. The workmanship and build quality of Crossland’s tankers is of a very high standard. Crossland’s ability to meet fairly tight delivery schedules, coupled with competitive pricing, are the reasons why we turned to them again when updating our fleet.”

Wiseman Dairies is one of the UK’s largest milk producers, distributing over one billion litres of fresh milk per year. The company has a number of dairies and distribution depots offering customers excellent coverage throughout Britain. Not surprisingly, approximately 10 per cent of Wiseman’s 1,000 plus fleet are milk tankers, with a large proportion from Crossland.
