As an industry-leading road marking vehicles and equipment manufacturer in the UK, Somerford Equipment continue to enhance their reputation with another bespoke vehicle build. One of their latest jobs included building a new 14-tonne lining vehicle for Pembrokeshire County Council.
In early 2021 Pembrokeshire County Council issued a tender opportunity to supply a new 14-tonne lining vehicle. Somerford responded to the tender and were ultimately successful in providing its services. With over 50 years of experience building bespoke road marking vehicles, Somerford were able to provide an effective solution to their clients needs.
This particular build had to meet several unique requirements specific to Pembrokeshire County Councils’ requirements. Somerford ensured this vehicle is manufactured to optimum operator safety levels, with the additions of ply lined dry storage, sign carrier, lifting platform (for material loading), and crew handwashing facilities.
Somerford has completed the build with a dark green paint finish which is rare among road marking vehicles. This is to mirror Pembrokeshire County Councils’ fleet colours. The truck is also furnished with bilingual warning signage to cater to different languages.
This build is one of several road marking vehicles completed for Pembrokeshire County Council over the years. Michael Oakes, Managing Director at Somerford Equipment said: “This is the third marking vehicle we have completed for Pembrokeshire and we have maintained a close working relationship with both fleet management and operatives to ensure our after-sales support services are delivered to the same high standards offered to all of our client bases”.
Pembrokeshire are delighted with the latest addition to their fleet, Gerald Rowlands, Fleet Manager at Pembrokeshire County Council said: “We have dealt with Somerford for a number of years, they always provide a good customer experience while also maintaining a competitive price. They are able to offer quality bespoke builds that come complete with a reliable back up service. Somerford are always able to provide a realistic delivery date which they manage to keep to”.
