Major fleet order for Canters
Date: Wednesday, July 14, 2010
Vehicle rental group SHB Hire has bought 28 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 7.5-tonne 7C18s through Pentagon Commercials.
The majority are equipped with tipper bodies made by Abba Commercials of Dover but the line-up also includes ten beavertail plant transporters, a handful of which are being used by SHB itself to handle vehicle deliveries and collections. Coupled to trailers, each Canter can transport two large 4x4 SUVs.
The last two Canters to arrived are the first SHB has acquired that comply with the Euro 5 exhaust emission regulations. At the time of writing they were being fitted with the operator’s own dropside bodies plus DEL tail-lifts.
With its headquarters in Romsey, Hampshire, SHB runs a fleet of 5,000 vehicles.
Dropping down the Canter weight range and moving across to South Wales, Newport-based baker D Gibbon & Sons has acquired its second 3.5-tonner. Sourced through Cardiff dealer Euro Commercials, the 3C15 has been fitted with a 4.6m (15ft) grp box body by Cardiff Truck & Bus.
