• Fruit and vegetable distributor John Sharrock of Preston has used a lifting/pusher axle to increase the payload of its new Volvo EL618 17-tonne curtainsider by four tonnes.
The 6.5m-wheelbase FL6 has an 8.84m Boalloy Insuliner body and Thermo King I<1)250 fridge unit. The Wheelbase Engineering conversion has raised its GVW to 23 tonnes.
Sharrock also specified an insulated wide-lath rear shutter and Ratcliff 1.5-tonne cantilever tail-lift with roll stops and safety gates for the 2.0m platform.
