George Killoughery Ltd closes in on 20th new tipper delivery

An order for 20 new Scania XT tippers with Thompsons Loadmaster Lite steel bodies is close to completion for Mitcham-based George Killoughery Ltd.

The construction services company is a long-standing customer of Thompsons having bought its first Thompsons tipper in the early 1970’s.

The new tipper bodies are all-steel Loadmaster Lites with Binotto tipper gear and will operate along side more than 50 other 8x4 tippers in the company’s fleet.

“For multi-purpose work such as ours, Loadmaster Lite is absolutely ideal,” said George Killoughery, grandson of the company founder.

“Its beauty is in its very simplicity, allied to a standard of build and attention to detail that is unsurpassed in the industry. These qualities give Loadmaster Lite a real performance edge, particularly in terms of long-term reliability and durability where the bodies might be carrying everything from demolition spoil and recyclables to sand and aggregates. For us, having this type of everyday versatility in our tippers is an absolute must. And with an easy 19 tonnes plus payload, Loadmaster Lite really is the tipper body for all uses and all seasons.”

Thompsons and Scania will be exhibiting at Road Transport Expo at NAEC Stoneleigh (30 June to 2 July). Register now for FREE.
