11 Volvo is supplying four heavy-haulage FH168 to Heanor Haulage for work up to 300 tonnes.
Delivered as 6x4s, all the Globetrotter cabbed units have pusher bars; Heanor's workshop converted one of the tractors into an 8x4 with a lifting self-steer axle.
All of the units are also fitted with rear air suspension. Designed for ballasted or conventional work, the 520hp tractors can pull up to 145 tonnes individually or can work as a pair to haul more than 300 tonnes.
Volvo says it clinched the deal because it was able to deliver the trucks with line-fitted frames extending beyond the bumper for the pusher bars.
