The team at Suffolk Coastal Services have replaced their fleet of Volvo-based Scarab truck-mounted highway sweepers with a new fleet of...
Volvo-based Scarab sweepers!
The three new Euro-5 engined FL-280 Volvos replace three FL6s but, according to transport manager Chris Davison, the attributes of durability and good dealer support were just as relevant when choosing which brands to adopt this time around.
"We are doing all we can to minimise environmental impact and, in fact, we already have a number of Dennis Eagle RCVs with Euro-5 Volvo engines in service, so we're well on our qway to building a state-of-the-art low-emissions fleet,"explained Davison.
The previous Volvo-based Scarab Magnum Hydrostatic sweepers had done exceptionally well but, at eight years old it was only right that Suffolk Coastal should take a look at what was now on the market. The verdict? "Our drivers know both the Volvo and Scarab product and the overall feedback has been positive - they're very user friendly,' he adds.
After sales service on a product such as a sweeper that works in sometimes arduous conditions also needs to be first class. "The aftersales service from both Scarab and Volvo has been great," commented Davison.
