Cyril Worth & Son has added a sixth vehicle to its fleet. The new vehicle is a DAF CF 250 BHP Euro 5 space cab from Mac’s Truck Sales.
It has a 5-pallet GRP container body, dropwell, false floor and side lockers. It’s also got Kelsa stainless bars, a HiBar visor bar and Minibar lowbar, all with white LEDs. The new DAF joins Worth’s existing five vehicles: a Mercedes 4-pallet, a Scania 5-pallet, Mercedes 5-pallet plus two Sprinter Lutons.
Andrew Worth said, “My father and I were passing Mac’s one day and we were after a 4-pallet but decided on the DAF with Euro 5 because of LEZ, etc. Also it was all built and ready to go so no down time on build except for spraying and fitting stainless bars, etc. All in all Martin at Mac’s was very good with just a few hiccups along the way, but then you always get those and they were soon sorted.”
The company is a family concern with Andrew being the 5th generation. He said, “Our granddad started the family business on the boats on the River Tamar taking local produce to Plymouth, then by road. He then started removals locally, then nationally with his A licence, then my father took over when grandad fell ill. My father has been in it for 46 years now and me for 26.”
As well as the six vehicles the company has three warehouses and it does local, national and European moves; the European side being another reason for getting the Euro 5 vehicle because of the Ecotax in France.
