The operator's view Rental company Burnt Tree Vehicle Solutions is putting 100 factory-bodied Daf LF45s into its 8,000-strong vehicle fleet.
They are all 7,500kg 4.3m-wheelbase LF45s fitted with either a 5.15m box or a curtain-sided body and a 1,000kg Ratcliff tail-lift.
"The extension of Dal's product range to include fully bodied vehicles is a good move from our perspective," says Richard Metcalfe, CEO of the
Shrewsbury company. "For standard box-bodied and curtain-sided trucks of the type that figure strongly in our rental fleet, it should help to make vehicle acquisition and operation
7 cheaper, simpler and quicker.
, "We have only one supplier to liaise with, and its one which has consistent and proven high quality standards," he continues. "We also benefit from a sole point of contact on warranty issues, whether it relates to the chassis, body, taillift or any other item fitted as part of the vehicle assembly process."
