Supplied by dealer Renault Trucks Felixstowe, the Euro 6 Range D18 wide 4x2 low 280 is on a five-year full rental through BRS.
Anglian’s specification was an unusually low ride height of 1 metre from ground to floor, as well as a flat platform body, produced by Harvey Coachbuilders, of Norfolk, to meet height restrictions for bridges and power cables.
Director Roger Steed says: “Delivering timber to building sites can be challenging so we needed a truck that was durable and manoeuvrable but, crucially, could comply with height restrictions on route.
“Renault Trucks, together with Harvey Coachbuilders, was definitely our best option. They took the time to understand our requirements and subsequently provided a truck which is perfect for our needs.”
Harvey Coachbuilders has been working with Anglian Timber for 25 years and director Gary Harvey says: “Our job was to produce a specialist, bespoke body with the minimum floor height and Renault Trucks helped us to achieve this with ease.
“The particular advantage in using the Range D is that the chassis is configured in such a way that it is designed to keep everything low. In addition, it was extremely straightforward to achieve the Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA), which made the whole process hassle-free.”
