Used Crew Cab Trucks: – True crew cab trucks are relatively rare, despite this there is usually a good selection for sale at Truckpages. Typically, a truck with a crew cab will be used for recovery work (to get the driver and passengers of a stricken vehicle home as well as their vehicle). Other applications include for local maintenance work – a council tipper may use a crew cab to get a gang of workers to site to save taking two vehicles. We have also seen sleeper cabs converted to crew cabs – particularly for driver training when the next student is brought along for the ride! Fire engines are another, rare application for a crew cab truck where a whole team of firefighters need to go at the same time. Finally there are the municipal applications – typically refuse & recycling trucks. Many of these are listed under the ‘low entry cab‘ type which also often have a crew facility. Note that on Truckpages we list pick up trucks with additional seating behind the driver as a ‘Double Cab‘ to avoid confusion.
If you are thinking of buying a recovery truck, it’s worth looking at why other operators specify the truck that they have. Kingsbridge Auto Repair & Rescue have recently taken delivery of their third Fuso Canter, so they must be fans. Their new truck is plated at 7.5 tonnes, but with its 2.5 tonne spec lift and dolly which means that it can recover vehicles as large as a motorhome and as awkward as a 4x4. In addition, the crew cab allows the recovery truck to take not just the broken down vehicle, but also up to six passengers. The…
Bradford-based Ladyroyd Garage has taken delivery of its first ever Volvo truck on the back of a recommendation from another operator. The new Volvo FL 4x2 rigid with rear air suspension has been brought in to help the business transport the larger vehicles it recovers. Supplied via Jason Robinson, Area Sales Manager at Crossroads Truck and Bus, the FL is powered by Volvo’s D8K engine, producing 280 hp. This is driven through a six-speed I-Sync automated transmission that helps to improve fuel consumption. The 16-tonne FL joins a 12-strong fleet of 7.5-tonne trucks operated by the company and is mounted…
If the standard crew cab is too long to fit a full-length body, then order a sleeper cab that has a seat-bunk combination fitted. That’s what R&S Recovery Services’ did with their new Mercedes-Benz Atego which now has a cab that’s roomy enough to accommodate five passengers, but not so long that it eats into space better used for the load bed. The High Wycombe-based operator purchased its 15-tonne Atego from Rygor Commercials, a Dealer for which it works as a sub-contractor. The truck has a ClassicSpace L-cab with additional side windows and an innovative seat-bunk combination. This option provides…
