Family-run Ben Bennett Jr has taken delivery of a Volvo FH 6x2 tractor to deliver limestone filler and granules from its Grange Mill quarry, in Derbyshire.
Supplied by Crossroads Truck & Bus, Rotherham, the 500bhp FH has been specified to a high standard, as transport manager Steve Woolliscroft explains: “The driver of this particular truck always keeps his vehicles in immaculate condition, so when it came to replacing his old Volvo FH we wanted to do something a bit special.”
The spec includes aluminium skirts and a built-in toolbox, as well as Alcoa Dura-Bright wheels, light bars and stainless steel mirror backings, and full colour-coding treatment.
The FH is coupled to a Feldbinder powder tanker and transports either limestone filler or granules to customers in the manufacturing and agricultural sectors.
