Fagan & Whalley has just replaced two of its 7.5t LFs with two of the latest, new DAF LF Euro 6 models; one is another 7.5t in the company’s traditional red and green livery; the other is its first 12t model, distinguished by its orange cab and Palletforce livery, which has proved extremely efficient for its collection and delivery services.
“The DAF LF came top in our trials as we have found it has better reliability and dealer back-up than others we’ve tried, plus the most driver appeal and satisfaction, but as a Lancashire-based company, we were also definitely influenced by the LF coming from DAF’s plant in nearby Leyland,” said Stephen Fagan, Commercial Director, Fagan & Whalley.
“The 7.5t model is perfect for our urgent courier work for the aerospace industry where we regularly have to send lightweight items to France, so we need to know we can be confident of the reliability of the DAF LF; while the heavier 12t model has proved more efficient for our Palletforce collection and delivery service as it means we can make the most of the larger payload with the convenience of a smaller vehicle,” Stephen added.
