The initiative is one of several that the Dublin based company is investing in as part of its plan to build its business through the current recession, which has been particularly tough in Ireland. The three executive directors Harry McArdle, John Ball and Fergus McArdle said that the company is looking at a range of other initiatives, which include stepping up its new and used equipment sales business, opening a new location in London and the expansion of its rental business in Slovakia.

The fully enclosed truck serves as a massive advertising hoarding

The fully enclosed truck has been fitted with a powered tail ramp to allow all products to easily climb onto the bed, while the canvas sides of the vehicles serve as huge advertising hoardings promoting the brands inside.

The sides can also be rolled back

Once the truck arrives on site, the sides can easily and quickly be rolled back to allow the customers to see the equipment on board. While the mix of equipment is likely to change, it currently includes a Maeda spider crane, JLG Toucan mast boom, Genie GR20 Runabout and a Genie GS1932 scissor lift.

One advantage Miney will have is the wide range of solutions he can offer ranging from a scaffold tower to a 70 metre Bronto truck mount, to relatively new second hand equipment to short or long term rentals.

The demonstration vehicle will be based at Height for Hires all new four acre premises in Ashbourne, Co Meath, north of Dublin.
