• Waste management and environmental specialist Nigel Grist from Devizes has added two Mercedes-Benz 6x4s to his fleet of 22 trucks. The Econic 262811, in the livery of Wiltshire Waste, has a MacNeilus compactor body and will be used to collect trade waste, to be sorted at Grist's own transfer station. It can then take non-recyclables on to landfill sites—the chassis has air suspension for use on rough ground, The Atego 2528L is in the livery of Devizes Cranes: it is fitted with a hook loader and a Palfinger 21tm crane, and can also operate as a drawbar with a trailer of up to ten tonnes. Both prime mover and trailer have removable container frames, so can be used as conventional flatbeds. The crane also features a removable magnet, used for picking up small items of ferrous scrap.
