Traffic management vehicle specialist Acklea has extended its range of recyclable plastic-bodied 7.2t commercial vehicles with a new tail-lift model, which is said to be suitable for use on slower urban and rural roads as well as the UK's high-speed road network. Created for highway service provider Ringway Jacobs, this has been designed as a dual-purpose vehicle, both for the installation of a lane closure or for the deployment of temporary traffic lights. The payload capacity enables it to carry twice as much as a typical 3.5t vehicle. The result is that, according to Acklea, the vehicle can replace multiple 3.5t traffic management vehicles and trailers on typically narrower, slower roads. A recyclable copolymer plastic body makes this family of 7.2t vehicles as lightweight as possible and reduces both fuel consumption and emissions.
