400 telehandlers for Morris Leslie

UK general sales and rental company Morris Leslie has taken delivery of 400 telehandlers as part of a £35 million investment.

Following the acquisition of three former Ambrose Plant Hire depots last May, the company has invested in excess of £35 million on 850 machines. The order is mostly made up of 400 Manitou and JCB telehandlers as well as 250 excavators, 175 dumpers and 30 rollers. It now has a fleet of 700 telehandlers with plans to invest a further £45 million on equipment throughout 2015.

Graham Ogilvie, Morris Leslie group operations director, said: “2014 was an important year for us, with the acquisition successfully completed in 2013 and a significant investment to meet our growing national client base’s needs. We are continuing to invest heavily in equipment to ensure we can meet our customer requirements and offer a modern plant fleet to rival any in the business.”
