MAN trucks show their mettle for heavy haulier22 October 2013

Heavy transport specialist Collett Transport has added 10 new MAN units to its fleet.

Halifax-based Collett's latest acquisition comprises TGX 8x4 tractor units and rigids, including: one V8-powered 41.680 8x4 tractor rated at 250 tonnes; two 41.540s at 180 tonnes; two TGX 26.540 6x4 tractors rated at 160 tonnes; and three TGX 26.4480 6x2 mid-lift tractors at 80 tonnes. The line-up is completed by two TGS 26.360 tag-axle 6x2 rigids, one with a front-mounted crane and one with an extended chassis with rear-steer axle and rear-mounted crane.

"By delivering solid, reliable levels of performance, the MAN product proves itself time and time again," says the haulier's managing director, David Collett.

"We've used MANs since 1992 and each successive model has been an improvement on the last... They are the best engineered trucks on the market and that's a view supported by the men that really matter, our drivers."

Collett's 50-strong fleet now comprises 85% MAN equipment.

The company maintains its own vehicles at its Halifax workshop, which has recently been accredited as a VOSA testing facility.
