WITH FOUR new tippers recently joining its fleet, and each one being delivered on successive Wednesdays, AC Aggregates Ltd of Maltby is near to completing its 2019 fleet update programme, the company’s standard tipper specification being built around Harsh FE (front end) combined ram and tank tipping gears, Scania XT chassis and Townend steel bodies.
‘This combination delivers everything that we want,’ says AC Aggregates’ fleet manager Andy Todd who adds, ‘with tippers, payload, performance and practicality are our absolute requirements, plus of course the need to give our drivers a top quality working environment.’
Often delivering over five loads a day, the new steel bodied trucks tare off at 12,500kg providing a 19.5 tonne payload.
