Linde switches STR depot to Swanley

THE MOVE follows a significant increase in demand in the short-term rental market for such vehicles. Located close to the M25, Linde Material Handling UK will also be offering a nationwide delivery service for its short-term truck rentals. Each truck undergoes extensive checks prior to rental. The company is also extending its service offering to include a ‘pay as you go’ option for local short-term rentals.

Linde Material Handling UK managing director Craig Williamson, says: “With our new depot positioned so close to the M25, it presents the perfect base for our growth ambitions in the short-term rental market which is a vitally important and growing part of our business in the UK. We look forward to serving the evolving needs of local and national companies from our new facility in the town.

“Short term rentals have proved extremely popular for supporting customers’ when they have business peaks, such as the retail sector in the lead up to Christmas, as well as for one off specific requirements where investment in a dedicated fleet does not make commercial sense.”
