top used truck is a 58-plate Volvo FM 8x4 tipper. It's got a D13A 12.8-litre Euro-5 engine (with Reduced Pollution Certificate) under the bonnet that is rated at 480hp with 2,400Nm torque.
Transmission is the 12-speed automated I-Shift and the rear axle is the single-reduction option. Up top is the Globetrotter sleeper cab with Prestige trim. The wheelbase, which runs with alloy wheels, is a Wilcox alloy insulated body that is raised by an Edbro ram.
Further additions include an electric shooting system, air tailgate, chute, 5.1m wheelbase, reverse and loading camera, and to top it all off there are Kelsa light bars on top of the cab and along the lower grille.
It is being sold by GC Rickards, which is based at Wednesbury in the West Midlands.
The used truck market has seen a gradual increase of dual-purpose tippers that can work aggregates while coping with more robust environments.
So a genuine insulated, asphalt tipper — complete with spacious cab and robust engine — certainly stands out from the crowd.
