TIP Trailer Services’ UK & Ireland operation now has 58 Renault Masters on its mobile maintenance fleet, used by its technicians to carry out work on customers’ trailers either at their premises or on the road.
The latest Masters will enable TIP’s certified technicians to provide an array of services to its nationwide customer base, including pre-MOT inspections, tyre servicing, diagnostic checks, preventative maintenance and the rectification of common trailer faults.
Ordered in long wheelbase, high-roof (LH35) specification, TIP’s latest Renault Masters replace a number of older vehicles but also extend the business’ mobile maintenance fleet in response to recent contract wins. All of the Masters are powered by the dCi 125 2.3-litre turbodiesel engine, which produces 125 hp.
According to TIP, the Master’s generous payload of up to 1,490 kg was a key factor in the purchasing decision. In addition to an on-board generator, compressor and trailer check diagnostic equipment, each of TIP’s Masters carries an extensive array of commonly-required trailer repair parts that include actuators, lamps, lenses and fixings.
Ordered in Business Specification, the Renault Master offers standard features including a DAB radio with Bluetooth, electric front windows, remote central locking, ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with HSA (Hill Start Assist) and Grip Xtend; which over loose surfaces such as gravel, light snow and mud, allows one wheel to spin to help aid traction.
Fitted out to TIP’s bespoke specification by Bott Ltd, TIP’s latest Masters benefit from the four-year/100,000-mile warranty and roadside assistance package that comes as standard with all Renault LCVs. As with the rest of the company’s existing Masters, TIP’s new LCVs will be fully maintained by Renault dealerships.
