• Tyre retreader Technic group has added a Mercedes-Benz Actros 2535 drawbar outfit to its largely Scania fleet. The rig can carry 2,200 car tyres. The 6x2 prime mover has a lift/lower trailing axle and a second fuel tank.
The four swap bodies were built by Southfield Coachworks'; the demount installation and trailer are from Wheelbase Engineering. Technic will double-man the drawbar for used tyre collections—a second bunk is fitted in the Long Distance high-roof sleeper cab.
This is the first Mercedes in the fleet, supplied by Mertrux of Derby, but the company now plans to buy five Actros 4x2 tractors.
