Loughborough-based vehicle rental specialist Marcol has taken 10 Mercedes-Benz Actros tractor units from the Leicester branch of dealer Mertrux.
All are Actros 2545LS models with aerodynamic, flat-floored StreamSpace cabs and 450 hp engines, which drive through Mercedes PowerShift 3 automated transmissions.
The new trucks represent a 10% expansion of the Marcol fleet.
Most of Marcol’s vehicles are trucks ranging from 7.5 to 44 tonnes, although the firm also offers vans and cars.
The company, established in 1980, has a nationwide customer base and provides everything from comprehensive contract hire agreements to short-term spot rental.
Contract Services Manager at Marcol Joe Ablitt said: “Our decision to invest in these trucks has already been vindicated, as half of them were snapped up by customers for long-term hire almost as soon as we took delivery.
“In the current climate operators need the flexibility to be able to add or remove vehicles at short notice to cope with fluctuations in demand, so that’s what we provide.
“We have developed a close working relationship with Mertrux over many years. The dealer’s approach to customer service mirrors our own and we’re always well looked after.”
