Rocks Off Gravel has strengthened its logistics capability with the addition of a new high-specification Krone Profi Liner trailer, specially built to support flexible, cross-border operations and demanding loading requirements across the UK and Europe.

Based in West Lothian, Scotland, Rocks Off Gravel is a long-established provider of raw materials and services to the landscaping industry, specialising in all aspects of hard and soft landscaping for both commercial and domestic users.

Supplied by Krone Trailer UK, the new Profi Liner features a hydraulic lifting and sliding roof that can raise by 500 mm from its lowest height of 4.0 metres—ideal for safe and efficient loading of tall or irregular cargo. The roof system is also height-adjustable between 4.0 metres for EU compliance and 4.2 metres for UK domestic operations, offering Rocks Off Gravel the flexibility to operate seamlessly across markets while remaining within legal height limits.

“Adding this trailer is part of our strategy to invest in smarter, more adaptable equipment,” said Scott Mealyou, managing director for Rocks Off Gravel. “The lifting roof alone makes loading faster and safer, especially when handling oversized materials or working in tight yards.”

The Profi Liner also includes a suite of advanced features designed to improve safety, efficiency, and load handling. A Krone TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) delivers real-time tyre data to reduce risk and improve fuel economy, while front and rear lift axles provide better manoeuvrability and reduce tyre wear depending on load conditions.

For secure and flexible cargo transport, the trailer is equipped with 10 heavy-duty sockets along each side rave and centre line, engineered to accept 80 mm x 80 mm heavy-duty posts and aluminium rigging boards—an ideal setup for transporting construction materials and irregular freight.

Additionally, the trailer is fitted with Krone Telematics, providing live updates on trailer location, door activity, load status, and brake wear, helping Rocks Off Gravel to maximise efficiency and safety across its operations.

The high specification also includes two spare wheel holders, full LED lighting—complete with LED indicating side markers and LED floodlights positioned at the landing legs and rear facing, behind the back axle.

Built to EN 12642 XL standard, the Profi Liner’s chassis, side raves, side guards, lamp panels, and rear under run are finished in Krone’s KTL-Plus powder paint process, which underpins the Krone 10-year guarantee against perforation corrosion. All are in Rocks Off Gravel’s distinctive dark violet, while the body and curtain are in the company’s complimentary colour of rape yellow.

Accredited by reputable organisations such as CHAS, RHA, and SMAS, Rocks Off Gravel offers a comprehensive selection of high-quality materials, from screened topsoil and hard core to sand, decorative gravels, bark mulch, and turf.
