Firow hook up with Volvo for their expanding fleet

For over twenty years Cheshire-based, Firow Limited have been serving the waste disposal industry across the UK. Supplying a range of vehicles including hook loaders, skip loaders, front end loaders and rear end loaders the company specialise in the contact hire and spot rental of municipal vehicles.

With continued growth over recent years, the firm now has the largest hook loader rental fleet in the UK. To meet this demand, the company has just taken delivery of two Volvo FM rigid trucks - the first Volvo vehicles in their expanding fleet – and the first of six ordered from Thomas Hardie Commercials Ltd.

Firow’s Sales Director, Gary Unsworth stated that, “We aim to run our new Volvo’s’ for the next few years as a trial. If they perform well I could see us buying considerably more in the future.”

Thomas Hardie’s Area Sales Manager, Mark Lingard commented, “I’m glad we have been given the chance to supply Firow. As with all our customers we aim to build a strong, long-term relationship with them.”

All the 13-litre, 400bhp 8x4 B-Ride vehicles all have a similar specification, featuring Day cabs with ‘Comfort’ trim.

Firow’s new Volvo’s will be leased on a long-term contract hire basis to Arthur Wright and Sons – Municipal Hire.

The vehicles will be operating in the Stoke-on-Trent area, as well as the rest of the Midlands, from their Sandiway Depot near Northwich.
