Good experience with a Hino 700 prompted plant hire and excavation specialist JC Balls & Sons to buy a Hino 300 for use as a refuelling and support vehicle.
The new 6.5-tonne GVW rigid - supplied by Midlands Hino dealer Hi Trucks - replaces a 3.5-tonne vehicle on the Ambergate, Derbyshire-based firm's fleet its greater payload avoiding the need to constantly swap the equipment it carries to remain legal.
The 300 series Hino, fitted with a double dropside steel body from Stag
of Stoke-on-Trent, has a 900-litre fuel tank and a tail-lift to load equipment such as excavator buckets and spare wheels.
