Putting vulnerable road users first

Scania Low Entry Urban Tippers added to the fleet working on HS2

Lynch has invested in brand new Scania Low Entry Urban Tippers, primarily for muckaway use on projects in and around London. These Tippers help to support TFL Direct Vision Standard and our collective ambitions to improve safety for all road users. Scania’s Low Entry design means that they are more accessible for drivers – reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Driver visibility is greatly improved, thanks to the lower

cab and wide view from the driver’s seat. Access to site and adverse terrain is assisted thanks to factory-fitted air suspension: raising the cab by 120mm.

The new Lorries are fully fitted out to the highest specification, including: ■ TFL 5 Star Direct Vision

Rating including Scania City

Safe Window ■ Euro 6 Engines ■ ULEZ Compliant ■ Meets the FORS Gold

Standard ■ Advanced Driver Assistance

Systems ■ Left Turn Alarms to alert

VRUs ■ 360 Camera System (forward, nearside, offside, rear and load security) ■ High Voltage Alarms ■ Exterior Sink Unit ■ Night Heaters to reduce idling time … and much more Brett Westbrook, Area Logistics Manager for SCS JV comments that “These Low Entry Tipper Lorries go a long way in reducing risk for Vulnerable Road Users and help us to ensure our HGV movements in London are as safe as possible. This is the future of driving in the city, and we are pleased that Lynch have been able to adopt this new technology. Working on HS2, it is important to leave a legacy and have a positive impact on all the communities we operate within, and higher visibility lorries are just one of the ways we work towards this.”
