The new fleet comprises a pair of 18-tonne LF230s, three 12-tonne LF180s and a 7.5-tonne LF150, all featuring the new livery.
The Glossop-based operator delivers bright and black carbon and alloy engineering steels to customers across the UK on a next-day service.
“Our current 95% on-time and in-full delivery service keeps us way ahead of our competition,” says Mark Thornley, managing director. “The continued investment in new vehicles and a keen focus on the changing times in the steel industry is key to our success.”
The company first signed with Ryder five years ago and, says Thornley, had no hesitation in renewing. “We like the whole Ryder experience: they make it easy for us to deal with them.
“We need a vehicle supplier who can do more than simply supply the vehicles: the trucks are on the road five days a week from 6am until 5pm, so they’re repaired and maintained overnight – that flexibility is one of the reasons we wanted to stay with Ryder.”
