Plantforce Rentals is preparing for a significant fleet renewal, putting more than 200 machines up for auction later this month. This move, driven by Plantforce’s commitment to maintaining a modern and environmentally sustainable fleet, illustrates a strategic approach to fleet management.
The auction, to be hosted by Ritchie Bros UK, will feature a variety of machines including excavators, loaders, dumpers, rollers, and telehandlers. Most of these machines are relatively young, around five to seven years old, yet they are being replaced to align with Plantforce’s focus on modernity and reduced emissions.
Plantforce’s chief executive, Sam Mercer, highlighted the organisation’s dedication to providing clients with state-of-the-art equipment. “Despite our field and workshop engineers’ diligence and commitment to ensuring all kit is fully serviced and maintained in accordance with manufacturer guidelines, our customers require us to provide them with a modern and fresh fleet,” Mercer stated. He pointed out the importance of recent advances in engine technology in achieving lower emissions, marking this as a key influence in the fleet’s renewal strategy.
The online auction will take place from Ritchie Bros’ yard in Maltby, Rotherham, with bidding opening on the 15th of November and concluding on the 20th. Potential buyers are encouraged to explore the wide range of machinery on offer, all of which are detailed with descriptions, photos, and videos on rbauction.co.uk. This platform provides transparency and a comprehensive view of the available equipment.
With this auction, Plantforce is not only refreshing its fleet but also offering machines a chance for a second productive life. Mercer expressed enthusiasm about working with Ritchie Bros, noting them as a trusted partner in achieving sustainable solutions for Plantforce’s customers.
This auction marks a pivotal step for Plantforce Rentals towards a sustainable and modern fleet future.
