When a hardy self-sufficient tipper capable of carrying and loading heavy cargo in confined spaces was required, FCH Construction Services joined forces with IVECO dealer AM Phillip Trucktech and The Thompson Group to design and build what is described as one of the most bespoke. IVECO X-Ways in the country. The IVECO X-Way 8x4 Tridem (AD350X46ZY/PS OFF) with rear-wheel steer, features a rear-mount bucket crane and two-way tipper body and is powered by the Cursor 11 454bhp diesel engine mated to a 12-speed Hi-Tronix gearbox with creeping mode. Its rugged tyres, an increased ride height, and the underbody protection offered by the Off-Road Package ensure the IVECO X-Way can tackle the most arduous terrain. This multi-purpose truck will be responsible for loading and unloading pipework or gravel in locations with restrictions on space, meaning some extensive engineering from Thompson Group was needed to deliver a bespoke solution. The 12-cubic-metre box is capable of tipping on either side of the truck via a set of hydraulic doors that run the full length of the body. The driver can remotely activate the whole tipping operation to ensure total operator safety, and a manual redundancy tipper door feature has also been integrated to ensure this IVECO X-Way is always operational should the hydraulics fail. |
