The Challenge: Aged Equipment and Evolving Needs
With a rapidly growing fleet and increasing customer demands, Smiths Hire needed a cutting-edge solution that would not only replace their existing wagon but also provide enhanced performance. Their key requirements included:
- Increased Payload Capacity – To maximize the volume of equipment transported in one trip.
- Improved Loading Efficiency – Reducing the time and effort required to load and unload equipment.
- Enhanced Safety Features – Ensuring secure transportation and ease of use for operators.
The Solution: Macs Trucks Full Access Spec Beavertail
In March 2024, Macs Trucks developed a Full Access Spec Beavertail tailored to meet Smiths Hire’s specific needs. This custom-built truck features:

The truck is equipped with a high-strength flow forge floor that provides superior all-weather traction, reducing the risk of slips and ensuring safe operations in any condition.
