Forevergreen Gardens has replaced its first 3.5-tonne Fuso Canter tipper with a new Canter after praising the robust running of the original model.
Forevergreen Gardens provides a broad range of horticultural, arboricultural and landscaping service within the south London borough of Bromley.
The new truck, Canter 3C13 model with Comfort day cab, was supplied, like its predecessor, by Mercedes-Benz dealer Sparshatts of Kent while its tipping body, meanwhile, is by TGS Group, of Bristol.
Forevergreen Gardens boss Richard Brown ran his previous vehicle for five years before Sparshatts took it back in part-exchange against the new Canter.
The Canter is used to carry and tip general garden waste, and Brown regularly makes full use of its payload potential. He commented: “Most 3.5-tonners are based on vans, but the Canter is a proper little truck and built to take plenty of punishment. It’s just a great all-round tool.
“I don’t monitor the diesel consumption but the new truck is definitely more economical than our last tipper,” he added.
“It’s also a lot more comfortable. Good though it was, my old truck bounced around a bit. The latest Canter has a new, air-sprung cab, which I really like. It’s a lot smoother, so much so that even my wife will ride in it!”
