The Carey Group

Safety was at the top of its agenda when the Wembley-based Carey Group ordered its first seven Mercedes-Benz trucks. The 8x4 Arocs 3240s were supplied by Dealer Intercounty Truck & Van.

A multi-disciplined provider of construction and resource management services operating throughout the UK and Ireland, the Carey Group has held Gold standard acceditation from the Freight Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) since 2013.

Key to the company’s decision to commission the new eight-wheelers were the strong relationship it has already forged with Stephen James, Intercounty’s Fleet Sales Director – Truck, and the promise of timely, customer-focused back-up. The Arocs are now being inspected and serviced by the Dealer under Mercedes-Benz Repair and Maintenance Contracts.

The trucks have ClassicSpace M-Cabs and are powered by fuel-efficient, 10.7-litre straight-six engines, which produce 290 kW (394 hp) and drive through smooth and efficient Mercedes PowerShift 3 automated transmissions. Their bodywork is by Abba Commercials, of St Helens – five are steel tippers and assigned to general site muckaway duties, while the remaining two are hook-loaders which carry bins with capacities of up to 12 cubic yards.
