Renault sells Mek-Tek display model at SED

Mek-Tek reports that its new Breaker Truck, which made its debut as part of a display on the Renault stand at SED 2006, was actually sold on the opening day.

Mek-Tek, the only British manufacturer of mobile volumetric concrete mixers, reports that its new Breaker Truck, which made its debut as part of a display on the Renault stand at SED 2006, was actually sold on the opening day by Renault Trucks' General Sales Manager Tim Huggins.

The Breaker Truck, which is designed especially for the recycled aggregate market, is thought to be the first of its type and is equipped with an automated internal 'breaker arm' that agitates sticky reclaimed material to clear hold-ups.

Mek-Tek also handed over new Mobile Batching Plants (MBP) to two owner/operators at SED.

Richard Butcher collected a 10m3 MBP10, which will be exported to Australia for his new business 'dialamix-australia' and Mario and Wayne Cerchione took delivery of a 6m3 MBP6 for their company, 'Spot on Concrete'.

A fourth truck was also sold, but Mek-Tek is unable to release details until contracts are formally exchanged.

Summing up SED 2006, Mek-Tek chairman Bob Prince says the company had a great show.

"The stand was so busy that I didn't have time to look around the other exhibits, and it was often difficult for the sales staff to take breaks." He says.
