AJ Access acquires Cox Plant access rental fleet

AJ Access Platforms based at Gwent, south Wales, has acquired the access rental fleet of Cox Plant for an undisclosed cash sum. The purchase includes over 100 machines that will be incorporated into to AJ Access’ core used equipment business. All existing hire contracts will be honoured.

“We have orders for most of the equipment already as currently there appears to be a shortage in the market place and new deliveries appear to be extended,” said AJ Access director Tony Mort. “These machines are not for our own rental fleet, but are specifically for our used/resale sales activity, which remains the company’s main focus world-wide. We are very pleased with the condition of the equipment, which has been maintained to a high standard.”

Cox Plant said that the disposal of its access rental fleet would allow it to focus on its core strategy of specialising in general plant hire.

AJ Access also launches a new website at the end of this month that will enable users to purchase used equipment from the company live over the Internet.
