McCarthy Marland
Running over a dozen various models of skiploaders and hookloaders, McCarthy Marland identified a particular skiploader specification that would add to their overall fleet productivity. Unfortunately though, no skiploader manufacturer could offer such a product off the shelf. “An enquiry to Harsh started the ball rolling,” said McCarthy Marland director Martin Williams. “I was surprised that they were so interested, then even more impressed when they said that they would build exactly the skip unit we wanted.” McCarthy’s requirement was unusual. The skiploader bodywork had to be small enough to fit on a 12t GVW chassis, yet big enough to handle and tip - off the rear hooks - a maximum size 12cu.yd skip container. “Harsh was keen to take on the challenge and built us a unit with an extra 200mm deck length just so that we could carry those bigger skips. Fitted to a high quality MAN chassis, the end result is a truck that’s just perfect in every way,” he said.
