AER Rents has announced a major new collaboration with SANY, which sees 50 new machines - including telehandlers and excavators - joining the fleets at MPH Hire & Sales, DHS Complete Hire (formerly Drogheda Hire & Sales) and Chippindale Hire & Sales over the summer.
Before confirming the deal, AER Rents conducted a review of the market and undertook an extensive due diligence process. This included visiting SANY’s manufacturing facilities in China, where group leaders assessed the build quality, engineering processes and after-sales support first-hand.
"This is more than a fleet refresh - it’s a clear signal of our ambition,”explained AER Rents CEO Gavin Pitt. “We’re growing, we’re working with the best and we’re putting performance, safety and sustainability at the heart of what we offer our customers.”
The new order comprises a broad range of SANY excavators, from compact units to mid-sized models, along with a fleet of powerful telehandlers. Fulfilment will be managed through SANY’s regional dealer, Banner Equipment, (Banner General Manager Rob Gowling with Chippindale MD Paul Blake seen above), which will supply a portion of the order to Chippindale, while SANY’s sales team will deliver to MPH and Sleator Plant will handle the order for DHS Complete Hire.
The machines will be delivered in phases over the coming months, expanding AER Group's capacity in key areas and enhancing service to construction, infrastructure and maintenance markets across the UK and Ireland.
"We’re delighted to deal with AER Rents on this major fleet expansion. Their confidence in the SANY brand is a testament to the performance and reliability of our machines along with the capability of our dealer network across the UK & Ireland. We look forward to supporting their operations as they continue to grow and serve customers nationwide.” concluded SANY UK BDM, Leigh Harris.
