The two 18-tonne curtainsiders have Day cabs and are 4ft longer than the operator’s previous 18-tonners, to improve fleet capacity and efficiency.
The Milton Keynes-based operator first used Ryder for a spot hire last year and, when it came to expanding the fleet, decided that Ryder offered the right package.
‘Loads smarter’ is Carlton’s mantra for its customers, as senior operations manager Barry Smalley explains: “It’s our proven methodology to increase our clients’ profitability and increase their consumer loyalty, so improving our fleet to meet our customers’ needs was one of the smarter services we offer.
“We’re excited to have Ryder to support us with the speedy growth.”
The new vehicles are operating from Carlton’s UK distribution hub in Milton Keynes.
