Arclid solves tanker weight and cost problems with high spec DAFs

摘要

Reduced weight, lower costs and improved driver comfort have all been achieved by Cheshire operator Arclid Transport on its bulk powder tankers, following careful specification.rnTransport manager Peter Conway explains that, faced with rising fuel costs, Arclid wanted to move from a gearbox-mounted PTO to a donkey engine for the blowers and tipping gear on its Feldbinder tankers.rnThis would run on red diesel, so cutting costs, while its noise reduction pack would ensure almost silent discharge. However, the weight would also reduce payload, so Arclid needed to find a way to compensate.
