Daimler Truck has announced it has strengthened its presence in Tasmania revealing the appointment of two new Mercedes-Benz and
Freightliner dealerships.
Daimler revealed this week that AJL Heavy Equipment will now sell and service Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner trucks at facilities in Burnie and Hobart, along with a service branch in Devonport.
AJL Heavy Equipment had until now operated a service facility in Burnie, supporting Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner trucks for Tasmanian-based operators but the expansion will provide sales and parts support along with service facilities in the northern cities of Tassie.
Daimler Truck Australia Pacific president and CEO, Daniel Whitehead, said AJL Heavy Equipment’s three dealerships will greatly benefit operators with trucks on Tasmanian roads.
“We are really excited to boost support for our customers in Tasmania as well as those based elsewhere who have trucks operating there,” Whitehead said.
“AJL Heavy Equipment has a proven track record putting the customer first when it comes to servicing, so it makes great sense to expand their footprint and include a sales function. We know our customers will be thrilled with this vastly improved support in this vital market,” Whitehead added.
AJL Heavy Equipment Pty Ltd was established in 1987 by the current canaging director, Andrew Lawson.
Lawson is a qualified diesel fitter, and has grown the business from a one-person operation based in a small workshop in Burnie to an operation that now consists of 130 full-time employees across three sites in Tasmania alone with three in Melbourne..
