Pallet distribution, transport, storage and warehousing services provider Edge Transport, a family-owned company and Palletline member, has taken delivery of the first new-series Volvo trucks to enter service with its 32 strong truck fleet – 12 of which are now Volvos.
The new Volvos, six FM-450 6×2 tractor units and three FL-250 18-tonne GVW 4×2 rigids, were supplied by Thomas Hardie Commercials at Deeside.
All the trucks, including the FLs, have been placed on Gold R&M contracts with Volvo’s unique Uptime Assurance. Maintenance of the trucks is carried out overnight at Thomas Hardie’s Deeside depot. Thomas Hardie also service and MOT test Edge Transport’s trailers.
