Holland & Barrett refreshes fleet with Don-Bur box bodies

03 October 2024 #TNB News #Truck

Don-Bur has completed a new batch of 33 bespoke 18-tonne rigid box bodies for health and wellbeing store Holland & Barrett.

The new fleet is made up of 31 rigid bodies mounted on the latest generation Scania P280 high roof sleeper cabs, while an additional two are fitted to Mercedes Atego models.

Built to withstand the demands of a fast-paced caged load environment, these vehicles feature heavy-duty specifications, including colour impregnated GRP panels, reinforced Anchorfix, and powder-coated aluminium extrusions.

Each vehicle is equipped with a 1,500kg Dhollandia retractable tail-lift, which includes dual controls on both sides at the rear to accommodate high street loading.

The livery has also been updated with a new, simplified design to ensure maximum impact and brand visibility on the road.

This updated fleet will be fully operational before the peak of 2024.

It marks the fourth time that Holland & Barrett has chosen Don-Bur for its fleet renewal programme.

Each of the 33 trucks will be linked to a nominated Holland & Barrett staff member, recognising their hard work or special achievements.

Team members will have the option to have their own name or a nominated name, such as that of a family member, displayed on the sides of the truck cab.

Steve Lovett, National Account Manager at Don-Bur said: “The decision to link each vehicle to a specific team member reflects Holland & Barrett’s commitment to their staff and adds a special touch to this fleet.

“Moreover, the seven-year interval since their last fleet renewal is a testament to the durability and quality of the vehicles we provide.”
