PLYMOUTH-BASED South West Boat Transport has taken delivery of a custom-built Iveco Eurocargo 230E25T/P artic. The company will use the truck to transport boats of about 15 tonnes in weight and up to 39ft long across the UK and mainland Europe.
The truck, which was converted by North East Truck and Van’s engineering division, will also be used on trips to Scandinavia and Greece. It will operate with a bespoke boat trailer manufactured by Wheelbase Engineering and is expected to cover up to 50,000 miles a year.
South West Boat Transport owner Michael Whelan says: “A lot of planning went into getting the specification right. The high-roof sleeper cab will also mean significantly greater comfort. This is particularly important as it’s common for our drivers to spend up to two weeks away at a time.”
