Australia’s largest equipment hire company has recently added 29 new Vermeer VX30-250 trailer-mounted vacuum excavators to its Pipeline Testing Hire fleet to meet the ever-growing demand for cost-effective and versatile non-destructive digging solutions in the Engineering, Building Construction, Maintenance, Mining and Resources sectors.

Rafi Tchopourian, Group Manager of Specialist Business at Coates Hire, said of the addition:

“We have invested more than $1 billion in new equipment globally over the past 5 years and are committed to providing Australian industry with the most capable equipment available.  Our relationship with Vermeer Australia led to the selection of the Vermeer VX30-250 as the logical choice for expansion of our vacuum excavator fleet. Its performance and reliability, in combination with the support of Vermeer Australia dealer network, added up to an unbeatable business case.”
