Fresh face for truck at milk collection company 12 July 2011

United Dairy Farmers has recently taken delivery of a Volvo truck – the first milk collection vehicle that Dennison Commercials has supplied to the Northern Irish Group in several years.

The Volvo FM-450 6x2 tractor unit is equipped with the 12-speed, automated I-Shift gearbox and has been specified with a sleeper cab. It also has a shorter than normal wheelbase, to allow increased manoeuvrability and to enable the operator to access restricted spaces, as is often necessary in tight farmyards.

Rob Ireland, sales manager at Dennison, comments, "We were delighted to be given the opportunity to supply a milk collection vehicle into the market, as it represents a move back into the agricultural sector."

"The milk side of our business is a 24/7 job and is often carried out in challenging environments," comments Dan Carey, fleet manager of United Dairy Farmers.

"The Volvo FM offers the best combination of operational flexibility and driver comfort, and is certainly robust enough to function even in the most demanding of conditions."
