A1 Plant & Haulage

Image 2 of 6

Another Mercedes-Benz Arocs was at the top of the list when A1 Plant & Haulage needed a new truck and director Stuart Handley was adamant he wanted another. Supplied by dealer BLS Truck & Van, the new Arocs 3246 has a ClassicSpace S-Cab, decked out with a colour-coded bumper and mudguards, protective headlamp grilles, air horns and a light bar. The 320mm engine tunnel allows the driver’s seat to be set lower and means fewer steps for entry and exit. Power comes from the 355kW (455hp) version of Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ 10.7 litre in-line six-cylinder engine. The York based company was established in 1973 by Stuart’s grandfather, Roy. Today the company provides tipper and tipper/grab haulage and hire services available from 18 to 32 tonnes GVW.
