Known for its livestock feeds, Aberdeenshire based Harbro has introduced the Iveco S-Way to its fleet, writes Gordon Roberts.
IVECO continues to make inroads with Scottish transport businesses, with livestock nutrition company Harbro the latest to put the S-Way onto its fleet. It has put a 6×2 rigid drawbar unit with a close-coupled three-axle trailer and two new Iveco S-Way 6×2 mid-lift tractor units into service.
The S-Way 6×2 6.7m chassis is fitted with a 7.9m curtainsided body and is powered by the Cursor 11 420hp diesel and tows a three-axle curtainsided trailer. The unit is fitted with a VBG coupling which enables the driver to detach the trailer to access the most difficult to reach farms when delivering animal feed across Scotland.
The S-Way drawbar unit will cover around 120,000km annually and despite the size of the combined unit provides an impressive 28 tonnes of payload, while a rear-steer third axle further adds to the rigid’s manoeuvrability.
