The Day Group, which includes Day Aggregates and CJB Bagging and runs around 115 trucks, has taken delivery of a Volvo FM11-370 8x4 tipper fitted with a PPG/Weightlifter body.
The heavy-duty aggregate body features front end tipping gear and an electric flip sheeting system. It was built by PPG and also incorporates a cab-operated tailgate air locking bar in addition to standard safety features.
These include side and reversing cameras, and side sensors and strobes to the front and rear of the vehicle.
As the vehicle joins similarly specified vehicles on the fleet, group transport manager Chris Cooling says that Day has built up a "first class" working relationship with PPG/Weightlifter.
"They understand our needs completely and go out of their way to ensure that we get exactly what we want," he reveals.
"Coming from an engineering background, Rick Nichols [Weightlifter's group sales director] knows his stuff and will always find a solution," he adds.
