To continue offering transportation and logistics services in the Mexican market, Ryder has strengthened its partnership with Fruehauf as an allied equipment provider that has met the company’s equipment needs for almost two decades.
The comprehensive transportation and management solutions provider recently acquired five 53-foot Fruehauf platforms, as well as five 53-foot dry boxes aimed at expanding Ryder’s fleet. Additionally, it recently placed an order for eight 30-foot dry boxes intended for equipment renewal; in both cases, the boxes are operating on various circuits throughout the country.
“Eighteen years ago, we made our first equipment purchase with Fruehauf. The first equipment we acquired were 48-foot and 53-foot platforms. Since then, we have been convinced by the combination they offer in terms of quality-price, availability to handle special projects or manufacture specialized equipment, and response times,” said Luis Murguía, Senior Operations Director at Ryder.
The latest eight dry boxes acquired by Ryder were manufactured in composite material, feature a rear curtain-type door, translucent roof, and a hydraulic ramp. These units enable product distribution in locations where a 48 or 53-foot box cannot access, as well as improved maneuverability in complicated areas and parking in limited spaces.
“We listen to their needs and the challenges they face when unloading, maneuvering on the streets, and above all, meeting each of the commitments they have with their respective clients. Thanks to customers like Ryder who trust our products and support us year after year, we have been able to establish ourselves as the leading company in semi-trailer sales in Mexico,” commented Rodrigo Arcos, Commercial Director of Fruehauf.
Murguía thanked Fruehauf for their support during challenging times caused by allied equipment shortages during the pandemic period (2020-2023). “This contributed to Ryder being able to fulfill its commitments to our clients.”
