Quick Delivery FOR MD AGGREGATES

MD Aggregate Supplies, a specialist in the aggregate and concrete industry, has recently acquired four Scania P450s with Thompson tipper bodies from MV Commercial. What sets this acquisition apart is that MV Commercial was able to deliver the tippers in a record time of just three months, while other suppliers had told Transport Manager Mike Weatherall that it would take at least 12 months for delivery.

Weatherall expressed his satisfaction with MV Commercial, saying that they had “delivered everything they promised” and that the timely delivery of the tippers had helped in the update of the company’s fleet.

The new tippers will join seven other vehicles in the MD Aggregate Supplies fleet and will be used to transport different types of materials across Shropshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire and Wales. The vehicles are expected to cover 80,000 km per year and come with a range of safety features, including a PM onboard weighing system, two front and rear strobe lights, two LED work lights at the rear and all-round recording cameras.

The tippers are also equipped with Scania’s 450 horsepower engines, which are necessary for the steep terrain in some of the areas where the company operates, such as around the quarries in North Wales.

Weatherall said that the powerful engines “make light work” of carrying full payloads up hilly areas. He also mentioned that the fuel efficiency of the vehicles was impressive and that the drivers loved them.

The vehicles were acquired on a full-service threeyear contract hire agreement, which includes regular maintenance and servicing. This allows the company to focus on its core business without having to worry about the maintenance of the tippers.

Weatherall revealed plans to do more business with MV Commercial in 2023, citing the excellent customer service he received and the high-specs of the tippers. He said that the drivers were very pleased with the vehicles and that they had been a valuable addition to the fleet.

In conclusion, the timely delivery of the tippers and the high-specs of the vehicles have made MV Commercial a valuable partner for MD Aggregate Supplies. With the addition of the four Scania P450s with Thompson tipper bodies, the company can continue to serve its customers with high-quality products and services while staying on top of the latest industry trends and standards.
