Debmat Surfacing鈥檚 latest purchase is a Daf CF480 FAD 8x4 chassis fitted with a Kel-Berg grab loader installation and Jost Rockinger drawbar coupling.
This configuration gives Debmat the option to operate the vehicle at 44 tonnes and pull an additional trailer.
The crane is a Palfinger Epsilon M125L.
Debmat transport manager Shaun Johnson said: 鈥淲e chose the drawbar because it gave us the option to carry our Bobcat and planer on the back, and tarmac in the body. When attending smaller jobs such as car parks, it means we only need one piece of kit for the job giving us a complete solution. Of course, larger jobs require additional equipment so we then use our low loader.鈥�
He said: 鈥淲e are currently doing some surfacing work for Sainsbury鈥檚 and the set-up has worked just as intended.鈥�
