FP McCann builds fleet durability with Renault Range C

Rigids
Precast concrete product manufacturer FP McCann has taken delivery of two 32-tonne Renault Range C trucks, following positive performance from previous Renault vehicles in its fleet.

Supplied by dealer Diamond Trucks, one of the 8x4 Range Cs is fitted with a tar-specification tipping body by McErlean Trailers; the second has a McErlean Trailers demount system and tipping body, and mixer drum by Hymix.

Vehicle durability, driver comfort, payload, pulling power and low fuel consumption were all factors in the Range C’s selection.

“We’ve been running Kerax since 2006, which have served us well in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption, and a couple of Range Cs for a year,” says Chris McCloy, FP McCann’s regional quarry and transport manager.

“The obstacle clearance capacity is impressive which makes the Range C ideal for our quarry and construction site applications.”

He adds: “The C430 has plenty of power for every day work, including hauling blacktop and muck shifting, as well as the capacity to tow our full range of trailers and plant, which makes them a great all-round addition to our fleet.”

The new vehicles are performing consistently on fuel efficiency, he says, “especially compared to the existing fleet”.

The package from Diamond Trucks includes a trade-in deal and four-year warranty.
