We’re taking a moment to look back at one of our standout builds: the delivery of a Volvo New Model FH500 8x2, equipped with the powerful Effer 955 8S crane, to our valued client, County Lifting.
This eye-catching unit came finished in a striking Deep Brunswick Green, a colour choice that ensures it stands out on any job site or road. But it’s not just about looks, this truck was built to perform.
The full ADR Kit was installed to meet all hazardous goods requirements, while the FORS Gold Camera System ensures top-tier safety and compliance. To top it off, we applied reflective custom livery to align with County Lifting’s branding and visibility standards.
What makes this build particularly unique is the inclusion of the Effer 955 8S crane, which is not one of our typical "ready-to-go" options. However, thanks to MV Commercial’s position as one of the UK's leading providers of specialist crane trucks, we’re able to offer one of the widest selections of crane fitment options in the country. This allows us to deliver truly bespoke builds tailored to each customer’s specific operational needs.
This was a completely custom and one-of-a-kind build, made possible through close collaboration with County Lifting. From initial discussions to final handover, we worked closely with their team to understand their specific operational demands, site challenges, and long-term goals. At MV Commercial, we know that delivering the right truck means first understanding the business behind it. That’s why we place such strong emphasis on building lasting relationships with our customers, so we can deliver solutions that don’t just meet expectations but exceed them.
Ross Wilson, Sales Development Manager at MV Commercial, said:
“This was a fantastic project to be involved in. County Lifting came to us with a very specific set of requirements, and our team was able to turn their vision into a reality. It’s a great example of the flexibility we offer at MV Commercial — being able to supply not only the vehicle and crane, but a fully bespoke build that’s tailored to the customer’s operation. We’re proud to have delivered a solution that will support them for years to come.”
A true workhorse with style and substance — and a great example of how we deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique demands of our clients.
