Whale Tankers hit Truckfest

This year's Truckfest Scotland saw a particularly good impression made by Whale Tankers. It was the first time that Whale Tankers had been present at the Truckfest, and people visiting the Volvo truck stand had the opportunity to explore their rigid vacuum tankers. The VacuumWhale is a 3300 gallon tanker, the only tanker at the exhibit, at was liveried in the colours of Glasgow's Waste Water Services.

Rhona Paterson, the total solutions executive for Volvo truck trader UK in the North, said, To many in the industry, Volvo Truck & Bus included, Whale represents the very best when it comes to product quality for specialist vehicles of this type. We were delighted to be able to feature the only tanker of its kind on one of our chassis at this year's Truckfest - the popular FE 6 x 4 26-tonne GVW chassis with day cab - and we received many favourable comments about the unit and its prominent appearance. It certainly helped Volvo's truck display stand out from the crowd.

Gordon McShannock, the Managing Director of Waste Water Services, who continues to utilise Whale Tankers, said, Not only is the best that money can buy, so too is Whale's service and support back-up. They do all of our servicing, maintenance and tank testing, and we know that there are two highly-qualified and dedicated service engineers just a phone call away should we need them. We are now looking forward to the new vehicle helping us promote our own quality service to both current and future customers.

Whale Tankers' Area Sales manager for Scotland, Alan Steel, said, As Gordon's comments clearly demonstrate, Whale prides itself on the outstanding levels of service support and back-up it has the capability of offering, not just north of the border but UK wide.
