Used Day Cab Trucks: – Day cab trucks are true local workhorses – that’s why there is always hundreds of day cab trucks and tractor units for sale at Truckpages. They are ideal for local distribution work where it is more important for the truck to be compact and carry as much payload as possible than for roominess or comfortable nights out. A good example is for 8×4 tipper operations. Every kilo transported is money earned. So, if you can carry an extra 150kg per journey using a day cab tipper, as opposed to one with a larger, sleeper cab then it is worth missing out on the extra comfort that a larger cab provides. Body length may also be important. You can fit a longer scaffolding body to a day cab truck than one with a sleeper cab. Som operators may think this is less of an issue if the cab has been converted for crew use – a ‘crew cab‘. So, where payload or load length are the most important factor – specify a day cab truck.
No better reason to replace a truck with an almost identical one – simply that the outgoing truck performed seamlessly for twenty years. That’s what South Wales builders’ merchant Undy Building & Timber Supplies did when replacing their old Mercedes Atego with a new one from Euro Commercials. The outgoing, Atego Still going strong with a little over 250,000 km on the clock, it was snapped up as a used truck bargain by a buyer in Cardiff. New Atego Specification A 1321 model, the latest addition to the fleet is powered by a 210 hp, 5.1-litre engine and has a…
Lancashire-based waste management specialist Gillett Environmental has commissioned the first two trucks from a clutch of six Mercedes-Benz skiploaders ordered to support its ambitious growth strategy. The company operates on a national basis but trades locally as Lytham St Annes Skip Hire. Supplied by Ciceley Commercials, its latest Arocs 18-tonners all represent extensions to a fleet in which Mercedes-Benz was already the dominant brand. This, however, is the first time that Gillett Environmental has sourced vehicles from a member of the manufacturer’s franchised network. Having previously used an independent garage for servicing, it will also be relying for the first…
A workwear specialist has broken with its previous policy of sourcing trucks from more than one manufacturer by placing a single, landmark order for Mercedes Atego trucks. Johnsons Workwear is already running the first dozen of the 60 new trucks that Ciceley Commercials is supplying. Not only does the operator’s revised acquisition strategy mean that for the first time every truck it has ordered this year will wear a three-pointed star, but forward planning means the same holds true for 2023 as well. “Mercedes-Benz already laid claim to more than half of our fleet of over 250 trucks, and has…
Husband-and-wife team Paul and Karen Taylor owners of Surrey-based arboricultural business English Oak, have bought both of their new 3.5-tonne Canters this year from Mertrux Truck & Van. The latest, which has just arrived, is the first from the all-new Canter range that the East Midlands Dealer has supplied. Clearly distinguished from the outgoing model by its redesigned cab and striking new ‘face’, the truck is more comfortable than the version it replaces, thanks in part to the improved interior insulation that reduces noise. Reinforced rear underrun protection also minimises the effects of an impact in the event of an…
A Birmingham-based steel stockholder has become one of the first customers in Britain for a vehicle from the latest FUSO Canter light truck range. FH Warden (Steel)’s new 7.5-tonner features a redesigned cab with eye-catching ‘face’, as well as improvements over the outgoing model in comfort and safety. The Canter 7C15 was supplied by Midlands Truck & Van, and will be maintained under a three-year Best Basic Service Plan at the state-of-the-art facility in Smethwick that was opened by the Dealer in 2020. Thanks to a newly developed, compact exhaust system, the new FUSO Canter meets the EURO VI –…
