SHAWhire has recently purchased 200 new vehicles, including 40 Isuzus and 160 Renaults to expand its hire fleet.

Gaps Bobby Allan said, "The plant hire industry is still busy despite the current downturn, which is why we continue to purchase new vehicles. We have worked with ShawTrack for several years now and they always design and supply everything to our exact specification - we outline what we want and they just get on and do it."
