ABERDEENSHIRE based Malcolm Allan Housebuilders has turned its hand to bodybuilding and assembled its own design of multi-functioning tipper and dropside body for its new Volvo FMX 460 8×4 Tridem with hydraulically steered rear lifting axle.
The 32 tonner becomes one half of a two-strong fleet used for delivering building materials to sites across the city and county, before turning to muckaway duties on the return. It brings new levels of payload capacity and off-road ability to the role after taking over from an 18 tonner from a rival brand.
Craig Easton, transport solutions executive at Volvo Truck and Bus Centre North & Scotland’s Aberdeen depot, secured the order thanks to their ability to supply a double drive tridem with tag axle configuration.
