Plant lorries for sale vs Access spec Beavertails for sale

Here at Mac’s, we essentially split our beavertail trucks into two main types:

• Plant lorries optimisied for equipment, heavy machinery and vehicles. Like this DAF CF450 8X2 32T Plant Beavertail
• Access Spec optimised for machinery with smaller wheels or tracks, such as those used in the access industry, including MEWP’s. Like this DAF XD450 8×2 32T Acess beavertail truck

Specific features of plant lorries:

• Heavy duty keruing wooden flooring which allows some flex while being incredibly strong. If planks did become dammaged they can be replaced easily and orderd directly from our parts team.
• Low loading angle – which decreases the incline that vehicles have to drive up, avoiding the chances of slipping.

Specific features of access spec beavertail lorries:

• Our access spec builds feature flow forge flooring along the full length of the truck body – this is used across many different industries as flooring, including in the oil and gas sector, marine and heavy industry plants where grip and longevity is paramount. We find that this flooring even allows access machinery to be loaded without the use of a winch – which shows just how grippy it truly it is.
• Lowest loading angle in the industry – Even lower than our plant lorries for sale, our access beavertail trucks, thanks to ingenious design from our technical team, achieves the lowest loading angle in the industry. This makes loading an absolute cinch.
