A company which specialises in secure storage containers and portable site accommodation has invested more than £2.5million in its fleet.

Mobile Mini, which has a flagship branch in Gravesend , has taken delivery of five new delivery vehicles to increase its efficiency and boost customer service.

The new vehicles bring Mobile Mini’s fleet to a total of 62.

The trucks are fitted with a sensors to alert drivers to bicycles and pedestrians, an audible and visual warning and an in-cab monitor that provides the driver with a 360-degree view. Additionally, LEDs leave a ‘halo’ on the ground to alert cyclists to the truck’s presence in the dark.

Mobile Mini’s national transport manager, Andy Cowell, said: “This is a small part of our continual investment as a company, as well as in our transport model, that helps us to build on our strong reputation for service and safety excellence.

“Making regular improvements to our fleet is important to keep pace with customer and legislative demand and we are already looking ahead as far as 2022, especially when it comes to legislation surrounding inner city deliveries that require higher safety and emissions specifications.

“By adding larger cranes we are able to take more control over our full-circle operations and look after the full process rather than contracting external suppliers.”
