Essex excavation firm returns to IVECO after being impressed with the performance of 10 new Stralis X-Way 8×4 tippers<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bulk excavation specialist Brocks Haulage has reaffirmed its trust in the IVECO brand after taking delivery of the first 44-tonne Stralis X-Way 6×4 tractor unit to arrive in the UK, supplied by local dealer Acorn Trucks in West Thurrock.<\/p>\n

The Purfleet-based business ordered the double-drive IVECO tractor after being impressed with the addition of 10 new Stralis X-Way 8×4 tippers to its fleet at the start of 2019 \u2013 the company\u2019s first IVECOs.<\/p>\n

The Stralis X-Way (AT440X48TZ\/P OFF) \u2013 showcased on the IVECO stand at Tip-ex 2019 before its delivery to Essex \u2013 will give Brocks Haulage a prime mover which combines excellent fuel efficiency and safety technologies with the comfort of the road-going Stralis cab.<\/p>\n

Anthony Brown, Operations Director at Brocks Haulage, says: \u201cWe have had good feedback from the drivers on the IVECO tippers; they\u2019ve attracted a lot of attention and boosted the company image a lot in recent months.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always required 6×4 tractors for our landfill work, but previously they\u2019ve been sourced from other manufacturers. This time we were attracted to the IVECO unit based on our experiences with the Stralis X-Way rigids; we were keen to try something different and trusted in IVECO and Acorn Trucks to deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Stralis X-Way double-drive tractor is designed by IVECO to give operators the confidence to tackle \u2018final mile\u2019 deliveries onto construction sites with ease, while ensuring high productivity, safety and excellent total cost of ownership (TCO).<\/p>\n

Its robust chassis is ideal for Brocks Haulage\u2019s heavy-duty work \u2013 which sees the vehicle frequently operating at maximum gross vehicle weight, delivering onto landfill and construction sites. The Essex firm has selected IVECO\u2019s \u2018OFF\u2019 chassis setup, to give the vehicle ability to take on terrain with an approach angle greater than 25 degrees, guaranteeing the best performance when collecting and delivering off-road. Alongside ON and ON+, it is one of three chassis setups available across the Stralis X-Way range, which benefits from lower maintenance and repair costs than dedicated off-road vehicles.<\/p>\n

Powered by IVECO\u2019s proven 11.1-litre Cursor 11 engine delivering 480hp and 2,300Nm of torque, the truck has been fitted with a wet kit for operating Brocks Haulage\u2019s ejector and walking floor trailers. It also features an optional low-level passenger door window, which provides direct visibility for the driver of pedestrians and other road users \u2013 designed to reduce the risk of a collision.<\/p>\n

In addition to waste haulage work from transfer stations to recycling depots around the south east, the family-run business will also use the tractor for low loader work, moving a wide variety of plant equipment ranging from mini-diggers to 35-tonne excavators.<\/p>\n
