Avery Flexes Recovery Muscle With Top-Spec DAF
Strong business growth, which has seen the operator double its turnover in the last three years, has led RD Avery invest around £250,000 in a new DAF XF530 FAS recovery unit.
The Super Space cabbed rear-lift 6x2 is fitted with a Boniface body and the latest Mk.6 ‘K-Boom’ lifting equipment, which makes it one of the most sophisticated recovery units in the UK.
RD Avery specified the 16-speed TraXon automated gearbox and hub-reduction drive axle allowing the vehicle to run at up to 90 tonnes.
