West Coast Woodfuels has increased its fleet to three trucks with the addition of a Volvo FH 500 Globetrotter 8x2 tridem. The new truck has been built on a 5,100mm wheelbase and benefits from a hydraulically steered pusher axle and a tag axle with single wheels, affording excellent manoeuvrability for a 32-tonner, the operator says. Roddy Danabie, operations manager at West Coast Woodfuels, said: "Forthis new truck, the focus was on maximising payload capacity, while still being able to get into sites with very limited access. What we've achieved with this tridem is nothing short of exceptional. It's been spec'd to go into sites where we know 26-tonne refuse collection vehicles can struggle, yet we can comfortably get in on four axles thanks to careful chassis selection and the wonder of Volvo Dynamic Steering. My driver can literally turn the wheel with his little finger when manoeuvring." |
