Fork Rent has recently taken delivery of five new Mercedes 2546 ACTROS trucks, enabling them to continue to offer an unrivalled plant and equipment delivery service to their plant hire customers nationwide.
Thanks to their state of the art Euro 5 Bluetec engines, the new additions to the vehicle fleet offer significantly greater fuel efficiency and lower emissions. This is in line with the ongoing Fork Rent policy of actively reducing emissions and ultimately lowering the carbon footprint across the company.
This investment also ensures that it is not just customers who benefit from working with the very latest high-specification machines but also Fork Rent delivery staff who now proudly deliver plant hire and self drive construction equipment across the country in the very latest delivery vehicles.
"Despite tough times in the construction and allied industries, this significant investment illustrates Fork Rent’s commitment to the industry," said Managing Director Trudi Nicholls.
