PRM Group offer full new range

The PRM Group has recently taken delivery of three new refrigerated Gray & Adams box bodies based on 3.5 tonne Mercedes Sprinter chassis cabs. The order for these small box bodies has meant that the PRM fleet has now got a complete range of refrigerated vehicles from the Gray & Adams product portfolio, including rigid vehicles of different sizes, up to 26 tonnes and a number of Gray & Adams refrigerated trailers.

PRM, known as one of the largest independent chilled and frozen food sales and distribution companies in Ireland, also have substantial operations in haulage and logistics. They operate a fleet of around 50 refrigerated vehicles, all of which have had the bodies supplied by Gray and Adams and have been fitted to Mercedes chassis cabs supplied by Mercedes-Benz Truck and Van (NI) Ltd. Over the past two decades, Gray & Adams and PRM have built up a successful business relationship, which has contributed to Philip Morrow, Managing Director and founder of PRM, coming back to Gray & Adams for new bodies time and time again.

As Philip explains, “We keep coming back to Gray & Adams because they are highly reliable and are responsive to our needs. Because they have in-depth knowledge of the PRM operation, they can always offer customized solutions. Gray & Adams constantly provide a consistently high quality product and offer a top class back-up service as well”.

The new bodies will be used by PRM as part of their expanding van sales operation in both the North and South of Ireland now in excess of 30 vehicles operating out of seven satellite sites.
The PRM 3.5 tonne body specification is a near replica of the Gray & Adams / Mercedes Benz Truck & Van demonstration vehicle that is currently available for viewing. However, while the demonstrator runs a ThermoKing fridge suitable for chilled and frozen operations, the PRM bodies include Carrier Xarios 300 refrigeration units complete with electric standby, which cater for chilled applications only. The PRM specification also incorporates additional aluminum internal shelving.

Although Gray & Adams have always been capable of supplying bodies suitable for 3.5 tonne operations, the new design launched earlier this year offers a lightweight solution, which is priced to compete in this now very competitive market sector.
These vehicles are capable of a payload in excess of 1000 kg on a 3.5 tonne chassis. They are available in single, dual or multi-temperature configurations for frozen and/or chilled applications and come with rear and side doors, pullout steps and 60 mm insulation as standard. A number of bodies are available ex-stock for immediate delivery, depending on chassis availability.

Although PRM have always chosen Mercedes as their preferred chassis supplier, the Gray & Adams bodies can be mounted onto various different chassis. In fact, Gray & Adams have recently supplied bodies on Mitsubishi, Ford and VW chassis for other companies.
