DRINKS DISTRIBUTOR Nectar has taken delivery of two Isuzu 7.5-tonne trucks with curtain-sided bodies from the Bevan Group for use on drinks delivery routes.
The new vehicles are the first trucks that feature Bevan's new fast-access curtain sided bodies that open and close from front to back, rather than from top to bottom as with conventional curtainsiders.
Fiona Jukes, managing director at Nectar, says: "We can't run bigger trucks because we need them to be sufficiently compact and manoeuvrable to reach our customers premises."
She adds: "When you're transporting barrels of beer and cases of wine, it's always going to be weight rather than volume that is the constraining factor.
"Even with the driver on board, the lightweight bodies on our latest vehicles mean we have still achieved a very productive payload capacity of 3,950kg."
