Central Demolition builds versatility with high-sided Loadmaster bodies01 August 2014

Scottish tipper operator Central Demolition is using vehicles with top-of-the-range, high-sided Loadmaster bodies to enable the trucks to serve a variety of applications.

Fitted to Renault and DAF 8x4 chassis with a 19-tonne payload, the trucks feature heavy-duty underfloor stabilised tipping gear for maximum strength and rigidity.

Over and above the standard Thompsons Loadmaster double -skinned construction and four fixed corner posts, the spec for Bonnybridge-based Central Demolition includes a 5mm Hardox floor, taller 1,350mm high sides with Hardox internal liners, barn doors and a Hardox pushbar.

This means the trucks can handle anything from clearing rubble, steelwork and concrete, to operating in Central's recycling business, where payload volume is vital.

Managing director Ross Craig says: "These bodies give us all the strength we need, yet with a volume bonus as well. Whatever jobs we put these trucks on, we know we've got the best possible solution."

Central Demolition's fleet also includes hookloaders, skiploaders and various tractors, trailers and specialist rigids for moving plant and construction equipment.
