CTS expands fleet with new hookloaders
Municipal vehicle hire and maintenance services specialist and south west Hyva agent, Collett Transport Services (CTS), has recently purchased two new Scania chassis and installed new sliding Hyva hookloading equipment to both vehicles.
Andy Collett, director at CTS, said: “We install Hyva hook and skip equipment onto leading brand chassis such as DAF, MAN, Volvo, Scania and Renault. These vehicles are part of our continued investment in new fleet for our hire service.”
The vehicles are fitted with Hyva hookloaders suited to eight wheeler chassis for normal operations with containers built with CHEM-TS8 TYPE 20 subframes, and each has a lift capacity of 23 tonnes. Hyva’s easy width adjustable auto-sheeting system is said to provide a simple, easy to operate and quick solution to covering containers up to 22 ft long and 50 cu yd.
Both vehicles are London-prepped, including a Sentinel four-way camera system and ‘Bike Hotspot’ system to protect cyclists, which features eight sensors, an in-cab display and verbal turning left warning. The system also incorporates a CAN bus module to ensure the system is not activated when the vehicle is moving freely.
Additional features include the Truckweigh Axle Overload Protection System from PM Onboard, specifically designed for all vehicles with a mechanical and/or air spring suspension. Vehicle operators can also enjoy a hot water hand wash care of a Teal TW24 Hand Wash Basin unit in the cab.
CTS is part of Specialist Fleet Services Ltd (SFS), and offers refuse vehicle hire packages for the short or long term. The company also provides total municipal fleet support including contract maintenance, workshop management, mobile repairs, roadside assistance and recovery, and complete vehicle refurbishment.
