Old Haulage has praised MV Commercial for quickly supplying a fully refurbished Volvo FH mounted with a Cormach Serie 75000 crane and fly jib after it secured a new contract.
The family-run Blaydon haulier has put the 32-tonne, 8×2 truck featuring a cabin spec body to work installing roof trusses for its customer, a local housebuilding firm, which had previously relied on a mobile crane to complete the job.
Old Haulage director Amanda Old said: “Of course we looked at placing an order for a new vehicle, but the lead times were over 12 months!
“Thankfully, when we spoke to MV Commercial they had the exact truck we required in their Ready to Go stock. I’ve no doubt that had we ordered a new vehicle from scratch we would have lost out to another haulier due to the extended timeframe.”
