Renico Plant Hire buys 32 new Mercedes Benz 2628B/33 Axor 2 trucks, fitted with MBC truck bodies
HONEYDEW – Experiencing a high demand for earthworks contractors with reliable equipment in Gauteng, Renico Group of Companies formed Renico Earthworks & Civils (Pty) Ltd during 2014.
While undertaking in excess of 20 225sq m of new earthwork platforms for Renico Construction on a monthly basis, Renico Earthworks and Civils was recently awarded 11 large-scale earthwork tenders. To cope with this demand, not only reliable and competent people are required, but also reliable earthmoving machines.
Renico Plant Hire has been using Mercedes Benz trucks since its inception in 1998, but Mercedes was never the preferred brand. In 2012, Renico Group’s managing director Nico Louw formed a new relationship with Nico Kriek of Sandown Motors. An old hand in the trucking game, it didn’t take Nico Kriek long to convince him that he should invest in the reliable 2628/33 AXOR 2 tippers.
During 2014, Renico Plant Hire took delivery of 10 new 2628/33 chassis cabs fitted with MBC 10 cubic metre tipper bodies. Their reliability convinced Renico Earthworks and Civils to use the same vehicles, and the company took delivery of 20 of these trucks during 2015, enabling them to efficiently attend to their high workload. MBC bodies have been building tipper and other bodies (including water tankers) for Renico Plant Hire since 2002.
Renico Plant Hire continues to grow in Gauteng as is evidenced by the large scale tenders and contracts awarded to the company. With the company’s recent acquisition of two Mercedes Benz 2628/33 AXOR 2 chassis cabs, with brick truck bodies manufactured by MBC and fitted with Palfinger cranes, the company’s use of these chassis cabs has now been extended beyond tipper trucks.
