A recent project saw Sterling tasked with enhancing Sunbelt’s extensive fleet by delivering a new beavertail truck tailored to their exact specifications. The result was the Sterling Combiload beavertail, expertly mounted on a DAF 8×2 32-tonne truck. This project was part of a larger order, with multiple beavertails built to Sunbelt’s exact specifications.

Built to Specification

The Sterling Combiload is engineered to withstand rigorous daily demands, perfectly aligning with the dynamic plant hire and access environment of Sunbelt Rentals. Its robust design supports heavy machinery while providing the versatility required for diverse operational needs. Sunbelt Rentals opted for some of the additional options to enhance the truck’s functionality:

• Upgraded Channel Side Rave with Lashing Bars: Offers increased lashing points, enhancing versatility and supporting wider loads with ease.
• Winch Channel Centrally Positioned on the Flat Deck: Ensures the winch rope remains securely in place, preventing contact with machinery during operations.
• Enhanced Beacons: A pair of upgraded beacons positioned at the rear of the ramps improve visibility and situational awareness, especially in low-light conditions or night-time operations.
• 3.5T Ball and Jaw Towing Coupling: Provides towing capabilities, enhancing the truck’s flexibility for various transport requirements.

Key Features and Benefits of the Combiload:

Every Detail Considered
Understanding diverse needs, the Sterling Combiload is ideal for companies supplying a mix of plant and access equipment. Likewise for truck rental companies serving a wide range of companies. Its design ensures a low loading angle, ample lashing points, and optimal traction for access platforms, while retaining the sturdiness needed for transporting heavier machinery.

Tailored to Meet Every Demand
With similar unparalleled features to the Sterling Easiload and Megaload, the Sterling Combiload offers both intricate details and the robustness required for access platforms and heavy machinery respectively.

Strong and Reliable
A simple but resolute design minimises potential issues and provides a promise of uninterrupted service, maximising your ROI and reducing long-term costs.
