Hertfordshire plant and tool hire specialist turns to MV Commercial to help reduce costs

CW Plant Hire says its two new DAF XF 530 tractor units and Faymonville trailer from MV Commercial are aiding its efficiency drive. The Harpenden-headquartered company – a longstanding MV Commercial customer – has sourced the 6×2 Super Space Cab units and tri-axle low loading trailer to handle an increase in business and save on costs when outsourcing work. Barnaby Smith, Transport Manager at CW Plant Hire, says: “A major benefit of adding these vehicles to our fleet is that we can better manage our own growing transport operations.”

CW Plant Hire, which runs a network of 30 depots throughout the UK, specialises in the supply of plant and event hire equipment including excavators, telehandlers, access platforms, dumpers, scissor lifts, generators and portable air conditioning units. The new vehicles join the firm’s FORS Gold accredited 200-strong fleet, which includes a mix of rigid and articulated HGVs, trailers and vans. One of the DAF XF 530 tractors will operate throughout the Midlands, using the new low loader to transport plant equipment and machinery for the construction industry.

Based in Basildon, the second DAF truck will be used by the company’s events division to service festivals and events throughout the South East. MV Commercial has supplied more than 20 trucks to CW Plant Hire since 2015, with a further four vehicles currently on hire to the company. Commenting on MV Commercial’s support, Smith says: “We always enjoy working with MV.

It’s an excellent partnership.

The speed with which they can source trucks and other specialist equipment to meet our requirements is unrivalled and the after sales service is exceptional.”

Established in 1979, CW Plant Hire has grown to become a leading specialist in plant and tool hire and now includes Instant Hire, Instant Power and Access Hire divisions.
