Logistics group Wincanton has invested £4.2 million in 27 new vehicles for its dedicated construction fleet. The vehicles will be used to carry building materials from bricks to tiles and aggregates for the Chippenham-based group's building sector customers.
This investment follows the addition of 20 new curtain-sided teardrop trailers introduced earlier this year in partnership with Lafarge.
Wincanton operates the UK’s largest shared-user construction materials fleet with around 200 vehicles.
Driver comfort was a priority in buying the trucks and the cabs feature an internal height of 2.1m with a raised single bunk and fitted microwave and fridge.
They also have improved manual handling specifications.
