Client: AR Banks Ltd
Industry: Transport, Groundworks & Lifting Services
Location: UK

Overview

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.

Challenge

AR Banks needed a vehicle that could flex between tasks without compromise. Their projects often call for:

• Reliable roll on–roll off capability with multiple bodies being able to be fitted to suit the right job
• Heavy-duty lifting for materials like blocks, pipes, and aggregates
• Equipment that can switch between applications quickly
• 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.
