Ringwood-based Raymond Brown Minerals and Recycling has taken delivery of four new Renault Kerax 410.32 8x4 trucks, fitted with Abba tipping bodies.
In an important deal for Renault Trucks and distributor Sparks Commercials, they are the first of its tippers to join the company's 43-strong fleet of predominantly DAF vehicles, of which 24 are four-legger tippers.
Graham Randall, transport manager for Raymond Brown, explains that the four new Kerax, which replace existing tipper trucks, will be used primarily for its muck shifting business. They will also be used for removing demolition materials from customers' sites to landfill or recycling facility, and for bulk collection of aggregate from the company's own quarries.
"We chose the Renault Kerax as we feel that it is designed and constructed to suit our business requirements, with good ground clearance when negotiating the difficult terrain of our quarries and landfill sites, at a realistic price," says Randall.
"As we currently have predominantly one manufacturer on our fleet, it is quite a change for us. It was a significant choice that was not entered into lightly and is testament to the quality of the Renault Kerax," he adds.
