Its new trucks are both Atego 1218 models and arrived via Nottingham dealer Mertrux. They have lined up alongside 11 other 12-tonners, a single 15-tonner and a long-bodied Vito van.
The more modern exterior styling – including a new grille and clear headlamps – of the latest Atego is perfectly complemented by Riggotts’ striking silver livery.
Meanwhile, the new, standard (S) cab, with its Distribution dashboard, represents a huge improvement on the previous model. As Riggotts’ Transport Manager Dave Corringham confirms, the makeover has won a resounding ‘thumbs up’ from the two-man crews – a chargehand and an operative – who use the trucks.
“It’s obvious that a lot more thought has gone into the design of this cab,” he says. “The result is an environment which is a lot more comfortable and user-friendly for the driver and his colleague – even the cup-holders are integrated now, so they can’t knock them off with their boots!”
