Turners returns to DAF for ‘ideal’ vehicles

Tractor Units
Turners (Soham) has taken delivery of 18 DAF XF and CF tractors for use on a new bulk powder distribution contract with Francis Flower.

The new vehicles are eight XF 440 FTP and 10 CF 440 FTP models with light mid-lift axles. All are fitted with Space Cabs and will be coupled with new, specialised Feldbinder bulk powder tankers.

The latest order means that almost half of Turners’ 750-strong fleet is now DAF and fleet engineer Tim King says DAF’s FTP model with light mid-lift axle is “absolutely ideal” for the new powder contract, with space on the chassis to house the discharge equipment.

As with previous orders, Turners is acquiring the DAF vehicles outright and they will be supplied with DAF MultiSupport R&M packages.
