Double Deck Trailers
The double deck is a solution that allows two decks to be created in the trailer space for the transportation of cargo. A semi-trailer equipped with a double deck allows delicate goods that cannot be packed in high stacks to be transported efficiently, while special beams create a platform at a selected height on which additional cargo batches can be stored. This configuration allows for the transportation of up to 66 Euro pallets, with each pallet having its own designated floor, ensuring optimal stability and safety during transport.

Why choose a double deck trailer? What can it transport?
It is important to note that the maximum weight of a pallet that can be placed on the floor is approximately 300 kg (with each beam having a load capacity of 1 tonne).The height of the pallets should not exceed 120 cm. Double decks are typically equipped with a rigid body or additional insulation and a refrigeration unit, allowing them to function as a two-storey cold store, providing:

Double deck trailers - a record 66 pallets in one loading area
The double deck solution allows two decks to be created in the trailer space for the efficient transportation of goods. A semi-trailer equipped with a double deck allows delicate goods that cannot be packed in high stacks to be transported efficiently. Special beams create a platform at a selected height on which additional cargo batches can be stored. This configuration allows for the transportation of up to 66 Euro pallets, with each pallet having its own designated floor, ensuring optimal stability and safety during transport.
The second floor level can be easily removed if required. Double deck semi-trailers usually come with a rigid body or are additionally equipped with insulation and a refrigeration unit, so they can act as a double-deck refrigerated trailer, allowing goods to be transported in a temperature-controlled environment (between -20 and +20 degrees Celsius as standard).
Double deck semi-trailer - technical characteristics
Due to their special design, our double deck trailers have a capacity of 87 cubic metres, with a loading space measuring 13.4 m x 2.45 m x 2.65 m (length x width x height).
These trailers can accommodate double the number of 66 Euro pallets, with a maximum weight of approximately 300 kg per pallet (each beam has a load capacity of 1 tonne).The height of the pallets should not exceed 120 cm, and the total load capacity of the trailer is 23 tonnes.
Why choose a double deck trailer? What can it transport?
Semi-trailers with a double deck system, in which the prevailing conditions can be monitored at all times, are best suited to the transport of light and delicate products, such as for example
-
food and drink,
-
pharmaceuticals,
-
temperature-sensitive cosmetics and detergents,

FAQ
GMP+ FSA (Feed Safety Assurance) is a certification aimed at ensuring the safety of feed fed to livestock. This standard covers all stages of feed production and therefore applies to both cultivation and transport. GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices and the '+' symbolises integration with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). The GMP+ certification has set the standard for the quality of our order handling since 2016.
ISO 22000 specifies the requirements for food safety management systems, applicable to all organisations in the food production chain, from cultivation and farming to retail. ISO 22000 sets a standard that is relevant not only for food producers, but also for manufacturers of equipment, packaging, cleaning products, food additives and ingredients. At our company, we are committed to ensuring the safety of the food and its ingredients we transport and store, and as proof of this commitment, we have been ISO certified for 15 years.
The spacious set is an excellent choice for transporting relatively light goods due to its ability to carry up to 38 pallets. However, due to the two loading spaces, the loading and unloading process may be lengthier. During loading, the trailer typically needs to be uncoupled first to allow the truck to be filled with goods, and then re-coupled by the driver to continue loading. The new jumbo trucks in the MEXEM fleet offer a more efficient solution by allowing loading without unbuckling the trailer, significantly reducing the time and effort required for the process. These trucks feature openable rear and front walls of the vehicle's load compartment and trailer, which are fitted with a drop-down aluminium platform, enabling the truck to manoeuvre between the load boxes.
The ATP Convention is an international document that details the standards associated with the transport of food and other perishable goods. Road transport is subject to the Convention, so any vehicle used for the transport of perishable goods must have a certificate of conformity for the means of transport, commonly referred to as an ATP certificate. The certificate is valid for six years, after which further tests must be carried out every three years. These certificates are issued by institutions designated by the Ministry of Transport. All our refrigerated semi-trailers are, as a matter of course, equipped with ATP certificates.
The mega semi-trailer is distinguished by its very large volume, reaching almost 100 cubic metres (which is approximately 10% more volume than a standard semi-trailer). Increasing the load compartment while maintaining the permissible overall height of the vehicle is made possible by lowering the frame and increasing the height of the trailer interior. The hydraulically raised roof makes it easier to load and fully utilise the height of the loading space, which reaches almost 3 metres. A prime example of the advantages of mega-trailers over standard semi-trailers is the ability to carry not two, but three floors of goods such as cookers or washing machines, all while maintaining safety standards.
The maximum weight of a pallet placed on the floor of our double deck semi-trailers is approximately 300 kg (the load capacity of each beam is 1 tonne). The height of the pallets should not exceed 120 cm. Our double decks are available with a rigid body or are additionally equipped with insulation and a refrigeration unit and can therefore function as a double-deck refrigerated trailer.
