The Leigh-on-Sea-based operator’s new 32-tonners were supplied by Renault Trucks Essex and mounted with a Fruehauf double-insulated tipper body, Epsilon crane with grab bucket, FORS camera warning system and an onboard weighing system.
“We have been running Renault vans for a while and they’ve been working well for us,” comments director Anthony Staunton.
“So when we were looking for new tippers everyone recommended the Range C. I certainly [haven’t been] disappointed: I really liked the look of them and now I think they are the best looking trucks on the road.”
That matters: as Staunton says, keeping drivers happy is a priority for any successful operation.
“They are really impressed and are dying to get out in them. In fact we are all so pleased that I am considering getting another one.”
These Range C tippers are now being used across Essex Highways and Hertfordshire Council Highways on maintenance projects.
