Loughran Rock Industries (N.I.) Ltd, a leading provider of crushed stone, concrete blocks and ready-mix concrete in County Armagh, has added two Renault Trucks Range C430 8×4 tippers fitted with Farlow Steel bodies and one Range T480 6×2 tag tractor unit to its 30-strong fleet. The new vehicles join the company’s bulk aggregates operation, moving materials including stone within a 30-mile radius of Armagh.
Gary is full of admiration for the Renault Trucks dealer: “We’ve found Diamond Trucks to be a great business partner and very straight forward to deal with. Their back-up service and aftersales packages on offer, including 5 year R+M with the work carried out at local service point Toal Truck Services, is second to none and was one of the key reasons we selected the Range C and T. They just take any hassle away so that we can concentrate on getting the job done.”
As well as top-notch vehicle performance, looking good on the road is also important to Loughran Rock as Gary explains: “We always take pride in our appearance and the trucks are hard-working ambassadors for our brand, reflecting our attention to detail that permeates right through the core of our business. The new Range Cs and T are part of our ongoing investment into the fleet, ensuring that we keep up-to-date with the latest technology but also look good in our distinctive red and cream livery.”
Achieving sizeable fuel economy was also a factor: “Fuel consumption is important to our business and we are getting around 6.5mpg from the Range T and Cs, which is pretty decent considering the type of stop-start and challenging work the trucks are doing. We had heard good things about Renault Trucks in this area and we’ve not been disappointed,” concludes Gary.
