Proposed Dump Trnck With PIawlWin�ISander
Sta�tf is recomrnending purchase of an International chassis from As�leford International
Trucks in Minneapalis. Astleford has the Staie contract for this style of International
trucks. International was chosen for a couple of reasons; Ra�nsey County has been
converting their fleet to International plow trucks since Sterling left the rnarket, also
because Ramsey County's flee� is �eing converted to International they stock many parts.
In an emergency we could get a part from their supply hasiening a repair.
Outfitiing the truck with a du�p box, plowing and sanding equipment is recommended to
be done by Towmaster Triack Equipment of Litchfield who has the State contract for this
work.
