THE RELATIONSHIP between Northumberland’s Alpha Recovery and Mercedes-Benz dealer Bell Truck and Van has been given a lift by the delivery of a new breakdown truck.
The Atego 1530 is the latest addition to the Cramlington based operator’s fleet. It has an uprated gross weight of 16 tonnes and a ClassicSpace cab with optional third seat, while the 7.7 litre ‘straight six’ engine produces 220kW (300hp). Payload is 6.0 tonnes.
The Super-Low Approach vehicle transporter bodywork is by specialist manufacturer Roger Dyson of Droitwich. While one vehicle is carried on the sliding bed, a lifting section accommodates a second, and a third can be towed using a spectacle lift.
