SDC Lands £10m Trailer Deal With Hireco

Trailer manufacturer SDC has secured a £10m order from trailer rental company Hire.

The trailers, which include a range of box vans, double-deck step-frame curtain siders, and urban trailers, will be manufactured across SDC’s three engineering facilities at Toomebridge, Antrim and Mansfield over the next six months.

Mark Cuskeran, director SDC, said: “Hire have been a great customer of ours through the years and I would like to thank them for choosing SDC once again.

“We operate in a very competitive market where quality and customer service, as well as our ongoing drive to keep our production costs low, have ensured continued success. Our reputation is built on over thirty-five years of design expertise, and quality accredited manufacturing standards.”

Earlier this year James Smith, MD at Hire, predicted a boom period ahead for trailer rental firms as operators turned their attention to refreshing their trailer fleets having already done so with their trucks.
