Demolition Contracting & Environmental Services (DCE) has invested a 6x4 DAF truck with two pieces of Hiab load handling equipment, which has enabled the company to bring its entire offering in-house.

The new truck is fitted with a  Hiab Multilift Ultima 21s hooklift and Multilift sheeter. It is being used by DCE, established in 2012, to facilitate waste disposal, including asbestos removal, as well as the movement of small plant equipment and machinery, ending its reliance on third-party hauliers.

Director Wayne Wilson said: “We’ve had the equipment just six short weeks and are already feeling the benefits right across the business. The Multilift Ultima 21S is second to none in terms of technology and features, while the enables us to cover any load at the touch of a button, saving valuable time and equally importantly, increasing safety. We are also seeing immediate financial savings, where our workforce previously spent time waiting for external haulage businesses – our only wish is that we’d made the transition to Hiab sooner.”
