Aggregate Industries has announced that it will be fitting all new tippers with Edbro's lightweight CX14 tipping gear.
Jeff Stobbart, national logistics manager for the firm, estimates that, with a saving of up to 230kg against some comparable cylinders, Aggregate Industries will generate up to £8,000 in extra payload per vehicle.
"We regularly update our fleet and always have two key priorities in mind," he says.
"First, we make sure that any equipment we install conforms to our strict safety standards. And scondly, we seek to maximise each vehicle's payload."
Stobbart says that Edbro has worked with Aggregate Industries to "push the boundaries" on safe and efficient weight saving.
"Its cylinders have stood the test of time, and its 'fit and forget' policy is exactly what we are looking for in our equipment," he states.
