The world of walking floor trailers

At Gregory Group we have many different pieces of equipment that make the jobs our team carry out that little bit easier. Our walking floor trailers are a perfect example of this. The trailer does exactly what it says on the tin; the floor “walks” which means the contents of the trailer get pushed out.

Fleet focus from our Fleet Director

Paul Jefferson is our Group Legal, Fleet & Sustainability Director. Every day he makes decisions that help our business evolve and grow, and fleet is a large part of those decisions. We interviewed him shortly after he spent a day “back to the floor” with one of our milk tanker drivers. He tells us about his day and more about the Gregory Group fleet as a whole.

Bringing electric transportation to the forefront

What does the future of transport look like?

The road transport industry has come a long way. If you just look at our vehicles, in just over 100 years we’ve gone from a Ford Model T Ton truck with 22.5bhp, to a Scania S450 with 450bhp! The two trucks are unrecognisable from one another. In these 100 years we have seen huge technological advances and constantly evolving legislation to keep us all protected. But we are on the brink of an even bigger evolution – one in which we see our carbon intensive fleets convert into net-zero fleets.
