Lecitrailer has been manufacturing vehicles that offer an innovative and efficient solution for more than 30 years and the Spanish OEM always ensures it meets the personalised requirements of its clients, something it says is ingrained in its DNA.
Along with manufacturing vehicles that give operators both safety and longevity, Lecitrailer sells second-hand vehicles and has a large stock of original spare parts for all its brands.
All its offerings, the company said, are complimented by its in-house, aftersales services.
Representative of its growth and ongoing success, Lecitrailer recorded 26.88 per cent market share in the first half of 2023 with its main product categories in Spain being curtainsiders, vans, container carriers, trailers, platforms, steel tippers and reefers. Its Evolution model reefer has made it the market leader in this category in 2023, thus far.
With 57 per cent of its products being exported, it isn’t surprising that the Lecitrailer brand is the third most popular in France with almost 11 per cent market share and is currently a market leader in Portugal with a 26.35 per cent share. It has also consolidated its position as a benchmark manufacturer in other markets such as Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
With so many countries to service, each with its own set of parameters, regulations and legislation, flexibility in design and manufacturing is a must for Lecitrailers, especially when it comes to configurations.
“Production flexibility allows Lecitrailer to adapt its vehicles to the characteristics and regulations of each and every one of the countries in which it markets its vehicles,” Lecitrailer said, adding that all its semi-trailer chassis have been subjected to the cataphoresis process (KTL). This ensures a uniform coating of 50 microns over the entire surface, the highest chassis protection on the market, which offers a 10-year guarantee against corrosion perforation.
Another of its competitive advantages is its after-sales service bases, where it repairs every type of semi-trailer, covering all different brands. In fact, Lecitrailer is the only manufacturer in Europe that dedicates 30 per cent of its workforce of 1,000 employees, to the repair, maintenance and sale of spare parts.
This is done through facilities located in three countries – Zaragoza, Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Lyon (FR) and Mangualde (PT) – and comprising a footprint that covers 500,000 square metres. Its most recently opened centre is in Mangualde, Portugal. They are all open 16 hours a day.
Each service base is known for being customer oriented and are equipped with advanced repair technology including chassis straightening racks, shot blasting booths, paint booths, brake testers, laser tyre alignment systems and repair pits.
These aftersales bases don’t just provide servicing, with customers able to access the LT Store which provides spare parts as well as personalised advice and expertise.
Lecitrailer’s service bases provide more than 30,000 main brand spare parts and offer delivery services to individual premises with delivery vehicles equipped to ensure safe, efficient and quick delivery and unloading.
