Ardent Hire's £13 Million Manitou Order

We are pleased to announce that Ardent Hire, one of the UK's largest plant hire companies, has placed a new £13 million order with Mawsley Machinery and Manitou Group for the supply of telehandlers and rotational telehandlers. The addition of Manitou products will underpin Ardent's goal of running the largest fleet of new equipment in the UK.

Following a previous order of fifty 14 metre, Tier 5 MT1440s, this order includes more than forty MT625, 732 and 932 machines with an additional twenty to thirty MT625s before the end of 2019. The order also includes a number of the industry leading, Manitou rotational telehandlers, including the models MRT2150, 2550, 3050 and 3255. These machines will be delivered over the next few months and will contribute to the growth of Ardent's roto telehandler fleet.

All Manitou machines entering Ardent's fleet will be compatible with their Site Manager Platform, which will allow customers to manage safety, productivity and cost across their hire fleet.

The relationship between Mawsley Machinery, Manitou Group and Ardent Hire are exciting times for all concerned. The Mawsley team looks forward to supporting Ardent's expanding business.
