Stoddards’ new baby tanker
The tanker is fully equipped with Alpeco bottom loading and vapour recovery equipment and the MF400 electronic meter system with metered uplift facility.
Judith Stoddard explained: “With so many of our drops being to rural villages, homes and farms we needed a small truck to cope with difficult access such as narrow gates and entrances. This was the prime motivating factor in going for a small truck just to carry on servicing those customers.
“My father used to buy trucks from RTN and we have continued to buy from them as they are knowledgeable about our business and offer an excellent product. The drivers like the Alpeco meters and are familiar with them and particularly like the remote control feature. I would think it fair to say that all the trucks we have in the future will be fitted with this facility.”
Clive Felton, RTN’s sales manager added. “We’ve dealt with Stoddards since the 1990s and have been their preferred supplier of fuel delivery vehicles ever since. The latest vehicle is 3-compartment, 8600 litre, aluminium, fully ADR and petroleum regulations compliant. The vehicle has been built on a DAF LF45 210 chassis.”
