A Queensland landscaping took delivery of its very first Hino trucks, a pair of 300 Series 616 IFS tippers, in October 2016.
Based in Darra, 14 kilometres south-west of Brisbane, Centenary Landscape Supplies transports landscape and gardening materials to customers around the greater south-east Queensland area.
The usual payload of these tippers includes loose substrates such as soil and bark, pavers and bulk-bagged sand and cements.
Centenary Landscape Supplies’ CEO Conor O’Shea says the trucks have surpassed his expectations of a light-duty factory tipper.
“The tippers are comfortable, well-powered and well-appointed. We’ve been so impressed that we are happy to see what Hino has to offer when the time comes to replace the other trucks in our fleet,” Mr O’Shea said.
“We looked for a truck that was less than two metres wide, yet had a capable GVM and payload rating. I’m pleased to say the Hino 616 tipper ticked these boxes.
“Up to 70 per cent of our orders can be actioned by these trucks – a great testament to the Hino Built To Go offering,” he said.
The 300 Series 616 IFS features a 150hp four-cylinder turbo diesel engine with 420Nm of torque. The 616 IFS is able to be rated with a 4,495 kilogram GVM or an optional 5,500 kilogram GCM.
The 300 Series 616 IFS Tipper also boasts class-leading safety features with anti-lock braking system, vehicle stability control and a standard reverse camera.
