NRG Riverside Delivers 16 New Brick Grabs to Kellaway Building Supplies
NRG Riverside, the leading UK specialist fleet hire provider, is delighted to announce the delivery of 16 brand new brick grab vehicles to Kellaway Building Supplies.
NRG Riverside established their business relationship with Kellaway Builders in 2019, by acquiring existing implanted fleet, originally 14 x18t Brick grab application vehicles. Our head office service support team alongside our national mobile engineers have ensured customer satisfaction with fast response resulting in limited VOR times. There has been subsequent growth to the fleet through the addition of 36 contracted vehicles in varied modes since this period.
The delivery is part of Kellaway Building Supplies commitment to upgrading their fleet and replacing older vehicles to enhance efficiency, safety, and environmental performance.
The new vehicles are DAF XB 290 FA 4×2 Rigid 19t Chassis brick grabs, known for their robust build and advanced features. Designed to meet the specific demands of the construction industry, the trucks come equipped with several enhancements that prioritise both driver safety and operational efficiency.
Each vehicle boasts an air-suspended driver seat with an integral head restraint and a three-point seat belt, ensuring maximum comfort and safety for operators during long shifts. To further enhance driver performance and safety, the trucks are also equipped with Driver Performance Assistant (DPA) technology, speed limit recognition, DAF drowsiness detection, lane departure warning systems, and an electronic vehicle stability control system.
Additionally, the vehicles are equipped with 600mm high triple alloy drop sides with underslung hinges and detachable pillars, making them highly versatile for loading and offloading tasks. Built-in overload protection ensures safer material handling and prevents overburdening the vehicles, prolonging their lifespan.
Safety is further enhanced with the inclusion of a VT hard drive four camera system with sidescan technology. This provides the driver with full visibility around the vehicle, reducing blind spots and making operations safer and more efficient.
John White, NRG Riverside’s Business Development Manager said “As part of our continued relationship, we are extremely excited to continue our journey alongside Kellaway Builders and have implemented 16 x new DAF XB 290 FA 4×2 Rigids, this build includes a robust quality triple allow drop side body, with built in platform access supplied by KH Builders, additionally, the unquestionable HIAB 118B-2 Crane with brick grab.
All concluding to a front to back and top to bottom quality manufacture and body build with added proactive aftersales support.
We are privileged and grateful to work alongside Operations & Commercial Director Sean Morgan, and Group Fleet – Plant Manager – Mike Burgess as key leaders in the builder’s merchant sector.”
The delivery of these 16 new brick grabs marks an exciting milestone for both NRG Riverside and Kellaway Building Supplies, demonstrating our mutual commitment to innovation in the construction sector.
