Leigh-on-Sea-based A Staunton Groundworks and Civil Engineering has added two Renault Trucks Range C vehicles to its 30-strong fleet.

The two 32-tonne Range C430.32 8x4 tippers are being used across Essex Highways and Hertfordshire Council Highways on maintenance as well as high-profile projects.

The new vehicles, supplied by Renault Trucks Essex, are fitted with a Fruehauf double insulated tipper body, Epsilon crane with grab bucket, full FORS camera warning system and an onboard weighing system to ensure correct aggregate weights and avoid overloading.

Anthony Staunton, director at A Staunton, said: "We have been running some Renault vans for a while and they’ve been working well for us. So when we were looking for some new tippers everyone recommended the Range C.

“Keeping our drivers happy is a priority for running a successful operation and from day one they were completely smitten with the Range C."
