Built on a Hino FD1124 this truck will be put to work spraying weeds in rail corridors throughout Western Australia. The spray boom is mounted on a lifting system designed by Perpetual Engineering and manufactured by Aries Rail. By housing the boom up on the rear of the tray the boom is protected from damage caused by obstacles or parking incidents.
The Hino FD1124 lends itself to operation on both narrow and standard gauge with some clients using the same truck with interchangeable hyrail swing frames and road wheels to efficiently operate on both gauges.
