• Glasgow District Council has expanded its domestic waste collection fleet with eight Heil Powertink 16 rigid bodies. They join 15 other Powerlink bodies on the100-strong fleet.
The new vehicles will handle bulk, wheelie-bin and reardoor collections; they will be treble-shifted to keep up with the heavy work loath The eight new arrivals are all fitted with swing-link hoppers and Hell's full-cycle packing mechanism. Four are fitted to 6x2 Seddon Atkinson Pacers powered by 8.3-litre, 260hp Cummins engines. The other four sit on Oaf 6x2 chassis with 9.2-litre, 250hp engines. All the trucks have Allison five-speed automatic boxes.
The original 15 Powerlink bodies are built onto 245hp Cummins Pacers.
