Essex-based waste management specialist Clearaway has received two 16-tonne Mercedes-Benz Atego skiploaders with payload capacities of almost 7.5 tonnes. The latest additions to its Mercedes-Benz-dominated fleet arrived via supplier Sparshatt Truck & Van. Both are construction-specification 1524 K variants with Hyva lifting equipment. Both employ high-torque 7.7-litre in-line, six-cylinder engines that produce 238hp and drive through six-speed Mercedes PowerShift automated manual transmissions. In addition to the new arrivals, the line-up includes four more vehicles from the Atego light-and medium-duty range-two 13.5-tonne skiploaders and a pair of 7.5-tonners, to which Sparshatt will shortly be adding a third. Clearaway founder Paul Whitehair said: "We're really pleased with our first 16-tonners. They're no bigger than the 13.5-tonne Atego, but each offers a very useful increase of approximately 2,400kg in body and payload allowance." |
