Supplied through Rygor, the deal has already seen 25 Medium-length Sprinter 313 CDIs supplied from Rygor’s Heathrow branch. These vehicles will be on general utilities duties and used regularly to pull trailers that carry 1.5-tonne diggers.
The majority of the vans will be assigned to two-man crews responsible for responding rapidly to pipe leaks, blockages and the like – they are being fitted with jetting units, racking systems, and Hope Safe-T-Bars.
As well as trialling demonstrators provided by Rygor, Cappagh took extensive soundings from rental companies and other operators before ordering its first Mercedes-Benz light commercial vehicles and said the feedback was resoundingly positive, particularly in terms of reliability.
“These are still early days but our first Mercedes-Benz Vans were competitively priced and are fit-for-purpose utility vehicles, while they’ve been well received by our crews,” added transport manager David Fahey.
Rygor has also supplied Cappagh with 30 FUSO Canter 7.5-tonners over the last 12 months, which are used by tarmac gangs. The dealer services these vehicles under Mercedes-Benz Repair & Maintenance Contracts, and is currently processing orders for another 10, as well as seven 8×4 Mercedes-Benz Arocs tipper grabs.
