NORTHERN IRELAND-BASED EJC CONTRACTS HAS TAKEN DELIVERY OF THREE NEW DAF CF 450 8×4 32-TONNE TIPPER GRABS FROM MV COMMERCIAL, EACH EQUIPPED WITH THOMPSONS BODIES AND PALFINGER EPSILON CRANES.
The new trucks follow an identical order MV Commercial supplied into the business last year and join a mixed commercial fleet of around 150 vehicles, which includes 3.5-tonne vans through to tippers and agricultural units. Run by father and son, Edward and Daniel Connolly, EJC Contracts has been a returning MV Commercial customer since 2019.
Paul Marley, Transport Manager at EJC Contracts, says: “The reason we keep coming back to MV Commercial is because we know we can rely on them to deliver the vehicles we need with minimal lead times. On top of that, the after-sales support we receive is always excellent. For any issue we may have, the team at MV are always available and work hard to get any problem – no matter how big or small – sorted extremely quickly.”
EJC Contracts takes pride in operating a modern and attractive fleet, turning to MV Commercial to fit Kelsa light bars and fully bespoke livery wraps at its Airdrie site. The trucks have also been kitted out to ensure they meet the FORS Silver requirements, including comprehensive camera systems to enhance pedestrian and road user safety.
Of the three vehicles, one is a new addition to the company’s fleet and will be based in Northern Ireland, helping to meet growing demand for services there. The remaining two are fleet renewals, replacing older assets and are based at the EJC Contracts depots in Bath and Southend-On-Sea.
The operator, headquartered in Newtownabbey, was established in 1993 with an initial focus on civil engineering and construction. It now offers private grab hire services, undertakes utility and landscaping work, alongside partnering with major telecoms providers across the UK, designing, building and deploying high-speed fibre networks.
