Kennards adds ASV loaders to fleet

Australia’s Kennards Hire has announced a deal with manufacturer ASV to supply its RT-30 Posi-Track loader on a rental basis.

ASV, based in the US, has recently completed an 18-month trail with CEG Distributors, which has been a distributor for ASV loaders in the Australian market. The successful trial has led to the contract with Kennards Hire.

Kennards operates across 150 locations in Australia and New Zealand and employs over 1,400 people. Last year it recorded revenues of €219 million.

Justin Rupar, vice president of sales and marketing for ASV, said, “Our long-term, leading presence in Australia has provided us with excellent brand recognition and a track-record of providing high quality equipment and support.

“We are excited to be in the position to grow with Kennards, a leading rental organisation. The equipment rental market is among our top growth opportunities and strategic initiatives, and this new agreement provides an excellent channel to increased sales in this market.”
