Since its establishment 37 years ago, Salisbury Poultry has experienced rapid growth, driven by its unwavering commitment to producing high-quality poultry products.

Built for Temperature Critical Distribution

These new additions to the Cold Chain fleet are built on Mercedes Actros 2530L chassis cabs featuring a high-capacity insulated body optimised for maintaining strict thermal integrity.

This independent diesel-powered system, complete with three-phase electric standby, ensures consistent temperature control across all operating conditions. The refrigerated trucks are equipped with dual temperature capability alongside in-cab temperature monitoring and printing technology. This enables real-time visibility and full compliance with food safety and transport regulations.

Safety and Compliance

Driver and vehicle safety have been prioritised throughout the build. Each unit includes a left-turn camera system with audible warning alerts, improving visibility and reducing risk in urban environments. Additional safety features such as rear under run protection, spray suppression, and high-visibility marker lighting ensure full compliance with UK road safety standards, while Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA) certification guarantees regulatory adherence.

These vehicles will play a critical role in supporting Salisbury Poultry’s growing distribution network, ensuring fresh product reaches customers safely, efficiently, and in optimal condition.
