Cartwright Waste Disposal has added a new DAF XD 410 FAN 6x2 rigid to its fleet of 29 vehicles. The XD is bodied with a NTM-GB multi-compartment trade waste bin collection specification. Supplied by Greenhous Commercials Shrewsbury, the vehicle will be put to work collecting general waste, mixed recycling and food waste in the Shrewsbury area. 

 

John Cartwright, managing director at Cartwright Waste Disposal Services, said: “I chose DAF and Greenhous Commercials due to the back-up, ongoing support available and the knowledge given by their sales team. The quality and their ability to tailor products to our requirements is second to none.

 

“We’re very happy following the delivery of the truck and the follow up given by the sales team. The drivers have enjoyed driving the new vehicle and have adapted to the DAF digital vision system despite feeling apprehensive towards the change.”

 

As well as the digital vision system, the truck has DAF corner view to improve visibility. The XD features a 26-tonne NTM KGH+FK body with split-body technology and on-board weighing system maximise collection capacity.

 

Martin Jones, area sales manager, NTM-GB said: “Collaborating with John at Cartwright Waste Disposal Services to introduce a new 26-tonne refuse collection vehicle to their fleet was a great experience. Working alongside Greenhous Commercials, the project involved customising the vehicle to meet updated specifications, we successfully tailored the chassis and body to meet the necessary requirements. I look forward to spotting this vehicle as it travels around Shropshire and the surrounding areas.”

 

Colin Moore, sales executive, Greenhous Commercials Shrewsbury said: “It’s been a pleasure to work alongside NTM and Cartwright Waste Disposal Services to ensure the truck meets the day-to-day operations of their business. We wish them all the best with their new DAF to their fleet.”

 

Cartwright also has a DAF XF 530 FAQ hook loader 8x2 draw bar on order.
