Biglorryblog: Fraikin and Antos lift the load for Benchmark

Fraikin has supplied Benchmark Building Supplies with four new site delivery trucks on a full-service contract hire agreement.

As part of the package, Fraikin will provide all servicing, maintenance and repairs for the new 26-tonne Mercedes-Benz Antos rigids – including the vehicles’ six-weekly safety inspections, annual MOT testing, tyre management and 24/7 roadside assistance.

Benchmark Building Supplies Managing Director Phillip Brown says: “Fraikin really took the time to look at our specific needs and understand our business. It then tailored a package that really suited us

.
To assist with the loading and unloading of building supplies to sites with difficult access, each of the new vehicles has been specially fitted with lightweight mesh dropsides and a remote-controlled Hiab crane with brick grab. The new trucks will join the company’s fleet of 14 vehicles, which carry out more than 150 deliveries a day, supplying building materials to a customer base of more than 1,200 construction companies of varying sizes.
