West country based Andersons have ordered their first Buckinghams - 2 x 10,000L (pictured here) and 1 x 14,000L (for 2023) Vacuum Cesspit Emptiers. All 3 tankers are to the tried and tested spec - with strong pump performance, full rear doors, top manhole, 4” bore rear inlet & outlet valves, galvanised hose trays & coupling box, work lamps & beacons. Lovely colour scheme too with the bodywork finished in Forest Green complimenting DAF’s Traffic Yellow. Chassis here are DAF LF FA 260 18 ton 4x2 rigids supplied by Watts Truck and Van.
