The Ledston 2 has a completely new cab design, derived from lengthy research into driver awareness. Visibility has been a priority, with a curved windscreen and deeper side windows.
Comfort is improved too: the cab is taller inside, with a wider access door, an adjustable steering column, suspension seat and improved heating and ventilation. The 4x2 chassis is still a strongly-built welded steel construction, and the tractor uses a Cummins B-series engine rated at 190hp; the transmission is now Allison's World series MD3060P fourspeed automatic.
The unit is no lightweight—it scales around eight tonnes unladen—but it has a cast steel 16.5-tonne fifth wheel (with a design rating of 32 tonnes). This is adjustable for height from 1,100 to 1,650mm, and rear air suspension is an option.
Vallely offers the Ledston 2 on lease purchase, finance lease and contract hire schemes, and maintenance packages are available.
