Greene King orders 20 customised DAF CFs

Leading pub retailer and brewer Greene King has ordered another 20 customised drays from Ryder, a leading independent provider of commercial vehicle contract hire, rental, and maintenance in the UK.

The 26t 6×2 DAF CF rigids are mounted on three-axle chassis with day cabs and Don-Bur bodies, and are customised to ensure that the cargo floor is at dray drivers’ waist height rather than at chest height.

Some of the new drays appear in a new livery that celebrates Greene King’s latest brewery-conditioned beer: East Coast IPA, crafted with American hops.

Greene King operates more than 100 vehicles from three Distribution Centres in England: Bury St Edmunds, Abingdon and Nottingham. The latest order of drays continues the full service lease deal signed by the brewer with Ryder last year.
