W. H. Holmes operate two M.A.N. 16.2324 x 2 tractor units, complete with sleeper cab, for national transportation of livestock in double-deck cattle carriers. The first M.A.N., purchased in May 1974, completed 100.000 miles in the first year with only one day's downtime, due to a minor fault in a fuel lift pump. The second M.A.N. hasn't lost any working time in over 70,000 miles of operation since its purchase in November 1974. "Our criteria in buying 32-ton gross tractor units are maximum reliability, performance and economy, and driver comfort. In all areas our two M.A.N. 16.232's meet every requirement. And because the M.A.N.'s are soaccessible we are able to carry out all our own maintenance and the few parts we have needed were immediately available. I have never known such reliability before."
David Gardner, Co. Director of W. H. Holmes, Catterall, Lanes.
