Supplied by dealer Renault Trucks Coventry, the Leicestershire-based operator’s new additions are both Range C430 8x4s with day cabs and have aluminium tipper bodies by Swadlincote Aluminium & Welding.
John Haynes, JSH managing director, explains why he selected the Range C: “I’ve been very happy with the C430 I purchased last year and the two Premiums with bulk tipping trailers that we use to move grain and aggregates across the UK.
“The tipper market is highly competitive so, for operators like us, Renault Trucks delivers exceptional reliability and a highly competitive cost of ownership that makes a huge difference to bottom line profitability.”
He adds: “A great truck with a very attractive four-year warranty, including two years’ servicing and a competitive price, as well as first-class dealer support – it was a deal that I simply couldn’t turn down.”
The Range Cs are equipped with 1-litre, six-cylinder engines with engine brake and 12-speed Optidriver+ automated gearbox, which comes with off-road software as standard – which Haynes says was “a huge factor” in his decision.
Close proximity to the dealer pays off, too, he adds: “If a truck is off the road, it’s a huge cost and problem to me so dealer support and back up is imperative. Our nearest Renault Trucks dealer is only 20 minutes away in Nuneaton and their parts HQ is only three miles away in Rugby, so if we need anything it’s only minutes away, all of which helps to minimise downtime and get the trucks back on the road as quickly as possible.”
