L Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage has put 14 new Volvo FM 8x4 tippers into service equipped with Thompsons bodies. Ten of the 430hp trucks are conventional front-end tipping units, while the other four units are tipper grabs, which have been built at Thompson’s factory in Croydon, south London.
The conventional tippers all have single skinned steel Loadmaster Lite bodies, while the grab trucks have been specified with double-skinned Loadmaster bodies.
“For obvious reasons, the business environment today is now more difficult and challenging than ever”, said Stephen Bremner, Lynch’s head of transport services and compliance.
“In turn we need the most robust, reliable and cost-effective tippers we can get. What matters most is to have really versatile tippers that can work without fuss or compromise on each and every job that comes along. Thompsons bodies have the pre-eminent reputation in the tipping industry whether for build quality, performance or returning the lowest whole life costs. As such, they promise to give us an excellent return on our investment.”
