Two more Boniface VLA’s Join the Oasis Fleet!

Back in July, three new trucks were collected by two generations of Oasis Rescue! It was a pleasure to meet up with Anya & Rayan from Oasis to hand over a Renault D12, a MAN 12.250 - both of which were installed with our 5t VLA and 2t second car lift, and a 3.5t Champion aluminium slidebed installed onto a Iveco Daily crew cab. Continuing with their 2024 fleet upgrade and expansion programme, Oasis have once again returned to Boniface to collect another two 5t VLA slidebeds – this time fitted to 12 tonne GVW MAN crew cabs.

As always, the vibrant Oasis livery makes the vehicles really stand out, promoting a positive professional company image whilst out on the road.  Oasis’ continued investment into their business has resulted in a very modern fleet – most of which is Euro 6 compliant enabling them to travel without restriction or additional expense into the new low emission zones which are now becoming increasingly common throughout the country.

The VLA slidebed is a very robust, reliable, and capable product that has been extensively used by operators all over the UK.  It is available in three capacities, 3t, 5t and 6t, and comes as standard with a rear tow bar. On larger chassis, an optional 2t capacity 2nd car lift is available which is supplied with a removable tow ball attachment.  One of the many standard features of the VLA is a sliding 8,000lb hydraulic winch that allows the operator to easily maintain a straight pull on the vehicle’s towing eye. The 2t capacity 2nd car lift is adjustable for both width and tire size allowing the operator to move anything from the smallest car to the largest van. As with most Boniface slide beds, the subframe and tipping frames are fully galvanized to help prolong equipment life, and the body is fitted with LED beacon, work lights and marker lights - all of which will provide years of reliable service.  The VLA slidebed has lever controls housed in a locker at the rear but is usually operated by a single button on the radio remote control, which also operates the winch.  The VLA is fitted with rubberized ground contact rollers which help make operation of the bed both smooth and quiet, whilst clearly labeled controls make operating the product very user friendly.

These latest vehicles for Oasis were built to their exact requirements and included some optional extras such as wrecker kit, trailer board, LED strobes, side winching points and skate loading ramps to name just a few.

As with all Boniface builds, there are a huge number of optional extras which may be specified to tailor the vehicle to your exact needs.  To find out more about the VLA or any other Boniface product, give us a call on 01842 754232 and one of our friendly team will be happy to help.
