Easton ERF

Eastons are a long established haulage business specialising in services to the food and agricultural industries. We move liquid and dry bulk goods – including milk, water, cereals and sugar beet – with our fleet of tanker and tipper lorries. With vehicles ranging in size from 26T to 44T we can offer transport solutions for most situations.

Our bases in East Anglia and the East Midlands allow us to cover a large part of the country. With over 80 years’ haulage experience, Eastons’ heritage is rich and we’re proud of it.

The ‘EC’ range introduced in 1993, which also happened to be ERF’s diamond jubilee, was the last all new product to be launched by the firm during independent family ownership. The previous range of ‘E’ series vehicles were struggling to match the continental rivals of DAF Scania & Volvo in terms of driver acceptance and appeal, being seen mainly as a ‘gaffers’ truck. That term refers to a lorry that is cheap to run and reliable but lacking the frills or kudos of more expensive foreign offerings. The EC featured a new and larger cab with a brand new dashboard that wrapped around the driver in a true ergonomic fashion in day and sleeper cab options that were also designed to be 80 per cent recyclable – all achieved on time and with a tight budget.
