NI Machine Dealer To Expand Fleet Size In Multi-Million Pound Deal

Northern Ireland construction machine dealer, Sleator Plant is set to expand its fleet size after agreeing a new multi-million pound deal with CP Hire.

The deal will see 95 Mecalac site dumpers (85 ROPS models, 10 cabbed units) added to the company's fleet in 2019, increasing availability of the latest dumper models and equipment technologies.

Jonathan Campbell, Dealer Principal at Sleator Plant, commented: "Over the past two years, we have supplied CP Hire with more than 250 Mecalac site dumper units. This is not only testament to our close working relationship and customer care provision, but also the high quality of Mecalac's earthmoving equipment.

"The latest agreement was negotiated in a matter of days – almost unheard of for a deal of this size! We are very fortunate to have a strong partner in Mecalac, as the team appreciates the importance of tight production timescales and was able to guarantee delivery – for the entire order – in Q2 2019."

John Rawnsley, Managing Director of CP Hire (GB) Ltd, added: "Sleator Plant is our first point of call when it comes to ordering rental-tough compact site equipment. The Mecalac portfolio is highly versatile, allowing us to offer various solutions to fit our customers' exact needs.

"Our latest site dumper order comprises a mix of one, three, six and nine-tonne ROPS models, alongside a number of Mecalac's new MDX cabbed units. Our experience with Mecalac equipment has always been first-rate, while the team at Sleator Plant have always gone above and beyond to exceed our expectations."
