The fleet of 122 HIA aggregates hoppers were produced in 2005 and have been operated by Freightliner exclusively ever since. The hoppers have a maximum capacity of 90 tonnes, with a tare weight of 24 tonnes. They have been seen in two liveries across their lifespan - namely Freightliner 'Heavy Haul' green and a less common white colour scheme. These limestone carriers are still in daily use to this day.
