NEW FLEET II

B.D. Flood (Oldcastle, County Meath)

B.D. Flood Ltd, headquartered in Oldcastle, supplies a range of readymix concrete, stone, aggregate products and blocks to the building trade, the farming industry and the housing sector. The company recently purchased this new Scania XT P410 10x4*6 block truck from Scania dealers McElvaney Motors (Monaghan & Dublin). Its 5-axle configuration has a lift and steer axle behind the two double-drive rear axles. The extra axle allows the truck to gross up to 36,000kgs when loaded, and because it is a rear steering axle it shortens the turning radius to less than a normal 8x4 truck – making it even more manoeuvrable and comfortable, thanks to its Opticruise gearbox and rear air suspension. Belview Eggs (Drogheda, County Louth)

Belview Eggs recently took delivery of this new Scania P360 6x2 rigid and it certainly looks the part with its eye-catching livery. Interesting to note that the company started with a mere 5,000 hens and a table top grader. It has now expanded almost ten-fold to deal with the increasing demand for sales and has invested heavy in top of the plant and range equipment. The company now has 21 production houses, 11 in Louth and 10 in Monaghan, with a total of 288,000 hens that are all approved by Bord Bia under the Sustainable Egg Assurance Scheme.

Jupiter Transport (Coothill, County Cavan)

Congratulations to Kenneth and the team at Jupiter Transport on the purchase of this eye-catching New Generation Scania R540 6x2/2 Highline. The paintwork on this 540 horsepower 6 cylinder truck looks stunning in the Manor Farm colours and compliments the trailer beautifully. This stunning truck has everything from leather interior, LED lighting pack, storage pack, premium infotainment system, Durabrite alloys and much more. A&T Transport (Swords, County Dublin)

From its quality line-up of used trucks, McElvaneys sold this 191-reg Scania P250 to A&T Transport. Founded in 2011 by Trevor Roy and Andrew Bruton, Swords, County Dublin based A&T Transport is a dynamic and progressive Irish owned transportation company. This curtainsider bodied 4x2 rigid truck is going straight into service at its European Airfreight Division.

Liam & William O’Reilly (Shercock, County Cavan)

Liam and William O’Reilly purchased this impressive New Generation Scania R540 6x2 tag, sporting Lakeland Dairies colours. Liam chose a 540hp powered tractor-unit with rear-lift axle (tag) with a 3.15m wheelbase on front and rear air suspension. The addition of full air suspension and rear-lift makes this truck exceptionally versatile for collecting milk in tight farmyard spaces. This truck also has Clutch On Demand (COD), an Opticruise gearbox which changes seamlessly up and down through the gears without the use of the clutch pedal, but yet the pedal is there if you need it for that awkward manoeuvre.
