Northern Load & Waste Handling Exhibition

Firstly - a reminder that Londonderry Garage is again sponsoring the annual Northern Load & Waste Handling Exhibition on July 15th/16th which will take place at the usual Londonderry village location just off the A1 in North Yorkshire.

The show is an established event for people in both the waste and recycling industries as well as many other commercial vehicle sectors, and attracts nearly 1,000 visitors from the North of England and Scotland. Stands are very competitively-priced and bookings are going well with companies keen to get their products in front of potential buyers following the cancellation of several industry events including the CV Show.

Still technically celebrating its 50th birthday, the company has recently secured some major orders including a contract from United Utilities to supply specially adapted Mercedes-Benz Unimogs and Axors.

Two Unimog U5000Ls and the two Axors - all mounted with Hiab cranes - are already in service, with a third currently being built and scheduled for delivery soon. All the vehicles will be involved in the construction and maintenance of overhead power lines, covering an area from the Midlands to the Scottish borders.

United Utilities was originally a customer of Londonderry Garage's service department and was so impressed with the company's problem-solving approach they started discussions about supplying these "one-off" vehicles.

Charles Pugh, Londonderry Garage's product sales manager for Hiab, said: "These are completely bespoke vehicles and fitting in all the equipment certainly posed us a challenge - I am delighted with the results. Looking ahead, we are discussing with United Utilities fitting a MEWP personnel basket to the Hiab to add even more operational flexibility."
