Halkyn goes for Heathfield H44s

The full capabilities of the Heathfield H44 rigid dump truck have been revealed at RMC Roadstone's Halkyn quarry in north Wales.

Based near Holywell, Halkyn is a quarry that has been worked for more than 20 years. Its carboniferous limestone supplies several RMC concrete plants, the construction industry and its two on-site coating plants.

Halkyn chose an H44 for its impressive demonstration performance and because the standard price includes features that are charged as extras on other makes.

Halkyn is using the H44 to transport blasted rock from the face to the primary crusher for 10 hours a day. Quarry manager Mick Ripley says: "Although Halkyn has only had the truck for a very short while, our drivers have said that they are very pleased with its performance, that it drives and pulls well."
