Wigan-based heavy transport specialist T Georgeson Haulage has taken delivery of its first Euro-6 DAF XF.

The new 6x4 510bhp DAF XF 510 FTT has increased T Georgeson’s DAF-only fleet to 12 vehicles.

The company now has four 150-tonne DAFs, an 80 tonner and seven 44-tonne tractor units.

Due to increasing business, the company has also acquired three Nooteboom ballast trailers, joining a further 11 trailers in the fleet and including a Broshuis double extender trailer.

Tom Georgeson, owner of T Georgeson said, “We have a proven track record with DAF vehicles.

“From a product point of view, the DAF heavy-haulage chassis give us a top-­spec, no-nonsense piece of kit.

"510bhp is plenty for our type of operation, and, above all, these top-of-the-range units represent fantastic value for money.”
