Surrey-based dealer Addlestone Commercials is aiming to increase skip-loader sales over the next few weeks as end customers start planning a spring clean.
Sales specialist Glenn Seery (pictured right, with founder Derek Willis) said: “The market for skip-loaders can be seasonal; we find they are in demand in the spring when people tend to clean out their garage or garden and order skips. We have several good-quality examples in stock at the moment.”
Over the past few years Addlestone Commercials, which stocks quality hook-loaders, skip-loaders, tippers, rane mounted vehicles, beavertails, curtainsiders and tractor units, has shifted its focus towards the domestic used truck sales market, although it still offers vehicles for export.
Seery said: “We recently sold a crane vehicle to Cyprus and a hook-loader to Malta, however at the moment the African market - particularly Nigeria, Tanzania and Mozambique - is quiet. We have customers from all over the UK. One guy recently travelled from Ireland to buy a truck, while we also sold to a customer in Inverness.”
Seery said one of the reasons it has been so successful selling used trucks is its ability to “spot an oddity and something that’s unique”. He said: “We had about 20 Euro-5 Scania 12-plate tippers in stock just before Christmas, mostly with manual gearboxes, and they sold very quickly.”
