Redruth, Cornwall-based Highway Plant Hire has announced it has purchased a new short-length plant body from Andover Trailers to help it deliver to sites with restricted access across Cornwall.
At 6.15m long, the LPPB18 plant body is mounted to an 18-tonne MAN TGM 4x2 rigid and can carry loads of up to 9.4 tonnes.
Ian Powell, Director at Highway Plant Hire, said: "Many of the customers we need to reach are located in isolated areas. The new plant body helps us to achieve excellent vehicle maneuverability without sacrificing payload capacity.
"We know from experience that the bodies Andover manufactures will outlast the vehicles they are mounted to. They are built incredibly strong and offer reliable service year after year; it's why we've worked with them for more than a decade.
"We have been in business for 40 years and we work hard to provide a first class service. Our long relationship with Andover comes from the knowledge that we can rely on their bodies and trailers when we are serving our customers."
Highway Plant Hire is a member of the Construction Plant Hire Association.
