Scania Low Entry Urban Tippers added to the Fleet
Lynch has invested in brand new Scania Low Entry Urban Tippers, primarily for muckaway use on projects in and around London. These Tippers help to support TFL Direct Vision Standard and our collective ambitions to improve safety for all road users.
Scania’s Low Entry design means that they are more accessible for drivers - reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Driver visibility is greatly improved, thanks to the lower cab and wide view from the driver’s seat. Access to site and adverse terrain is assisted thanks to factory-fitted air suspension: raising the cab by 120mm.
The new Lorries are fully fitted out to the highest specification, including:
TFL 5 Star Direct Vision Rating including Scania City Safe Window
Euro 6 Engines
ULEZ Compliant
Meets the FORS Gold Standard
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Left Turn Alarms to alert VRUs
360 Camera System (forward, nearside, offside, rear and load security)
High Voltage Alarms
Exterior Sink Unit
Night Heaters to reduce idling time
… and much more.
Providing the best possible service to our customers means investing in the safest and most efficient vehicles. Scania’s L-series design has enabled us to achieve the highest possible TfL Direct Vision Standard rating and support our collaborative goals of improving road safety in urban environments. The driver’s visibility of the road ahead, vulnerable road users, site operatives and other hazards is dramatically increased.
Steve Bremner - Fleet and H&S Director
We are excited about being part of this journey to make London’s streets safer. Our Drivers have already covered 10,000 miles in these new Tippers, and we have showcased the features and benefits of these Lorries at the London Zoo Lorry holding bay - feedback has been positive.
We would like to thank everyone involved in making this goal a reality!
