Brocklebank & Co Demolition
Brocklebank & Co Demolition has taken 12 new Volvo FMX 8x4 tippers for their busy muckaway fleet. The family-run firm has a long history with Volvo and has returned to the Swedish manufacturer after a twoyear spell using a different marque. Supplied by Crossroads Truck & Bus, the FMXs are powered by a 12.8 litre Euro 6 diesel engine, producing up to 420hp and 2,100Nm of torque. They are driven through Volvo’s I-Shift automated 12 speed transmission, with enhanced software for construction and off-road applications. Nick Brocklebank, who owns the company that has been serving South Yorkshire since 1948, said: “In years gone by we’ve been predominantly Volvo, so we’re very happy to be going back to them. It’s certainly proved a popular decision with the drivers.” Brocklebank & Co Demolition has specified the trucks with Volvo’s X-High chassis and paired them with Thompson steel tipper bodywork.
