East Lothian Council has received four new Elite+ 'Narrow' vehicles including its first 18t variant which will offer improved safety for operators navigating narrow lanes and residential areas.
‘We’re predominantly a rural authority, so the narrow chassis allows us to navigate the smaller, tighter roads within the county,’ said Bruce Moffat, service manager, Transport and Waste, East Lothian Council. ‘It’s the first 18-tonne vehicle we’ve purchased from Dennis Eagle.’
The council was also drawn to the Elite+’s safety features, including all round in cab visibility as well as Vision Technique’s Six Channel DVR Camera System with 360° vision in real-time together with rear electronic signage and autobrake system.
‘We’re very proactive with regards to vehicle safety. These are all crucial factors for a fit-for-purpose vehicle in built-up areas and key to our successful operations,’ added Bruce.
