Glossop Cartons makes investment in delivery fleet

The new truck will provide quick, efficient deliveries for the UK packaging manufacturer and its customers, with a low cost of ownership. It features 150bhp PX-5 Paccar engine offering emission levels compliant with the Euro 6 emissions standards. A cab roof deflector and cad side collars aid airflow over the body to help reduce fuel consumption.

Further, a Glossop Cartons branded curtainside body is designed for convenient loading. It is designed to be as convenient to use as possible, with a side loading aperture of 2,350mm and rear doors with internal dimensions of 6,248 x 2,440mm wide, and an internal height of 2,540mm.

The new DAF LF truck is the first model on Glossop Cartons’ fleet to comply with the latest Euro 6 emissions standards. The truck was supplied via the DAF dealer in Liverpool, North West Trucks.

‘This is the second DAF truck in our distribution fleet and we are delighted with the value and quality they offer,’ said Jacky Sidebottom-Every, sales director at Glossop Cartons.

‘We pride ourselves at offering quick and efficient deliveries to our customers across several industry sectors around the UK and need to be able to load large quantities of a wide range of our award-winning packaging solutions, so our new DAF trucks will be working extremely hard.’

Phil Moon, marketing manager at DAF UK, said: ‘With its generous payload the LF is perfect as a modern distribution truck, and can be tailored to the needs of any customer or industry, as proved by Glossop Cartons.’
