Openfield invests in 36 tippers22 February 2023
Lincolnshire-based national grain marketing and arable inputs co-operative Openfield is taking the delivery of 36 sloper smoothsider tippers from Fruehauf as part of its expansion plans.
Based in various depots across England and Wales, the tippers are primarily being used to transport grain from farmers to customers who manufacture British food and drink brands. Openfield is also a national fertiliser distributor and manufactures and delivers quality seeds to farmers.
The sloper smoothsider tippers, which will average 100,000 km per year, are specified with Dawbarn Hydroclear electric sheets, reverse and loading cameras, as well as onboard wi-fi enabled PM 1155 weighing systems and 150mm high hoods.
The 72m3 trailers started arriving towards the end of 2022, making the short journey from Fruehauf’s base in Grantham to Openfield. Further new tippers are due for delivery every month through to July.
Keith Hughes, head of fleet at Openfield, said: “The new tippers are part of our fleet expansion and replacement programme as we grow the business in 2023 and they serve our business perfectly. They are versatile and can easily accommodate different types of load.”
