kscarbel2 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Transport Engineer / February 3, 2016Digger hire specialist HE Services is reporting success with its move to DAF CF 8x2 rear-steer trucks fitted with Sterling fold-forward cheese wedge plant bodies equipped with ‘working at height’ handrail systems. “The decision to give Sterling the opportunity to supply [us] was based on the excellent lead times offered as well as their ultra-low ramp loading angle,” states HE Services managing director Peter Durey.He explains that his company needs a particularly shallow approach for loading large excavators, not least because it means more grip, so safer and faster plant loading.“Likewise, the galvanised ramp systems ensure they will last for a long and safe working life,” he adds – observing that the streamlined design of the ramps also delivers reduced drag, compared with traditional upright ramp systems.The new trucks – two joined HE Services’ almost exclusively DAF 8x2 rear-steer fleet last year – were processed for type approval through Sterling’s National Small Series certification, without recourse to IVA testing – another contributory factor in the company’s short eight-week lead time offer.Sterling Bodies - http://www.sterlinggp.com/products.
