Sterling has recently delivered a new Combiload beavertail plant body to MW Hire Group, further strengthening its presence in the Irish market and reinforcing its capability to support operators across Ireland with tailored transport solutions.
Established in 1992, MW Hire Group has grown into a market-leading plant hire and sales company, providing nationwide coverage across Ireland with a strong local service ethos. With depots in Kilkenny and Wexford, alongside its UK presence in Irvine, Scotland, the business supports a wide range of customers – from large-scale construction projects to smaller, local requirements – with a comprehensive fleet and one-stop-shop approach to plant and equipment.
The latest addition to the MW Hire fleet is a Sterling Combiload beavertail body mounted on a Scania 460G 8×2 32-tonne chassis. The specification has been carefully selected to reflect the diverse nature of MW Hire’s operations, where versatility, reliability, and safety are critical to maintaining efficient day-to-day transport.
Key features include double flip 1.0m twin ramps to enable safe and controlled loading across a wide range of machinery, from access equipment to heavier plant. Channel side raves with integrated lashing bars provide secure load restraint, while a 3.5-tonne ball and jaw coupling adds further flexibility for towing applications. A stainless steel 1-metre toolbox offers practical, durable storage for operators working across varied job sites.
The Sterling Combiload is designed as a true multi-purpose solution, combining the precision required for access platforms with the strength needed for heavier plant equipment. Its adaptable design allows operators to transport a wide variety of machinery on a single vehicle, making it particularly well suited to hire fleets where equipment demands can change daily.
With a focus on durability and long-term performance, the Combiload’s straightforward, robust construction helps minimise downtime and reduce maintenance requirements. Multiple lashing points, a low loading angle, and high-grip deck options ensure safe and efficient loading, supporting operators in maintaining productivity across busy and demanding schedules.
This delivery highlights Sterling’s continued commitment to supporting customers across Ireland with high-quality, purpose-built plant bodies. With established experience supplying into the Irish market, Sterling is well positioned to provide both new build solutions and ongoing support, ensuring operators benefit from reliable equipment backed by responsive service.
As fleet requirements continue to evolve, particularly within the hire sector, solutions such as the Combiload demonstrate the value of adaptable, well-engineered transport equipment – enabling operators like MW Hire Group to maximise utilisation, improve efficiency, and maintain the high standards expected across modern construction and plant hire operations.
