For companies working across multiple industries, versatility isn’t optional — it’s essential. That’s why AR Banks has added something very special to their fleet: a MAN TGS-440 8×4, fitted with 21T VDL Hook equipment and a FASSI F365 crane.
This new build, delivered by Mac’s, is designed to do more than one job. It’s built to unlock a wide range of applications across transport, groundworks, and lifting — giving AR Banks a powerful, all-in-one solution.

- A solution that integrates seamlessly with their existing groundworks and lifting teams
The challenge? Find a single vehicle that could deliver efficiency, adaptability, and power.
Solution
Mac’s supplied a MAN TGS-440 8×4 chassis, custom-fitted with:
- 21T VDL equipment – tough, reliable roll on–roll off system
- FASSI F365 lorry loader – 36t/m lifting performance with precision handling
- Interchange bodies to suit a variety of applications
This isn’t just a standard truck. It’s a multi-role unit, ready to take on whatever the project demands.
