Heavy duty clutch manufacturer Lipe is celebrating the arrival of the latest addition to their fleet, a new Mercedes Actros 2532L 6 x 2 rigid.

The new vehicle features a 4 section sliding side panels which allow easy access for loading, as well as a tail lift with a 1.5 ton capacity.

The vehicle also has a new corporate identity in a distinctive orange and black with a 2 metre high picture of the 430mm clutch.

The Lipe range of clutches are suitable for a wide variety of applications and cover both spring diaphragm models from 430mm to 310mm as well as the push and pull type clutches.

Mike Coote UK Sales Manager commented: “We are finding that customers are running their vehicles longer, which in turn means the aftermarket has been busier with more clutches being changed. Our new products, like our new vehicle, are definitely having a positive impact on the market.”

The 430mm clutch is UK built and fully interchangeable with other brands and is available with no surcharges. It can be supplied with either ceramic or organic facings and is suitable for applications such as DAF, Iveco Ford MAN, Mercedes, Scania and Volvo.
