FEDERATED Scrap (Aldridge) Ltd has reduced its transport operation to one vehicle.
Adoption of a Dodge 2413 200in-wheelbase tipper to a Multilift ML 14 continuous chain ground-level demountable body system meets all the company's transport requirements.
Previously, in addition to the 24-ton tipper, a skip lorry and several hired vehicles were needed to collect 240 Ions of scrap metal each week. Now the same operation, involving some 30-40 body changes, is done using nine 5.48in (18ft) long, 1.22m (4ft) high-sided Multilift bodies with rear opening doors.
Federated Scrap's general manager Geoff Sanders said that changing to the Multilift vehicle has resulted in considerable savings in transport costs and eliminated vehicle standing time.
