New Products added to fleet
Fri, 27 May 2011
We are extremely proud of the latest and innovative equipment that have just been added to the ever growing and diverse product offering that Truckworld is fast becoming renowned for.
A high specification potable/dust suppression water cart and an 11 cube tipper were introduced into the fleet today. Nothing innovative about them maybe, but don't be fooled by first appearances because these are not ordinary rigid trucks.
What separate these trucks from the norm is the fact that they both have a 3.5" turntable with quick release chassis couplings meaning that the end user could use either asset as a water cart, a rigid tipper or a prime mover and as any operator would know, the cost is in the 6x4 so effectively, you get 3 products for a significantly reduced price.
Located on a UD GW470 (465HP) 6x4 prime mover complete with ringfeder, side tipper hydraulics, bull bar, spot lights, 40 channel UHF radio, ADR compliant sleeper bunk, keyless entry and so the features go on.
The 13,000 litre poly water tank is mounted to a galvanised forkable base frame including lifting / tie down points and retractable leg set for easy storage. Fully baffled for operator safety and comfort. Powered by an electric start Honda 6.5 HP motor wired to control box with key switch for in-cab control. Features include water canon, 1 x 3" gravity fed dribble bar fitted with cam lock end for flushing and drop box side bars, 2 x 2" rear batter fan sprays and 1 x 3" rear centre fan spray.
The 11 cube tipper has a 4mm Hardox floor, sides and cab shield, top and side swing rear door, access step and a 22 tonne front mounted hoist.
Change over time working to the manufacturers "safe work method statement" is less than 30 minutes.
