Contractor Boosts Vehicle Fleet with New Additions

PHOENIX CONSORTIA has invested in two new Versalift cherry pickers and a second Mercedes crane truck to add to its specialist fleet of vehicles.

The new vehicles will help the multi-discipline contractors – incorporating Howard Evans Roofing and Cladding, SPV Special Projects and Ivor Parnham Building Services – to deliver safe, efficient, and high-quality roofing and cladding solutions.

Extended Vehicle Fleet

The Mercedes Actros crane truck, a 44-tonne powerhouse equipped with the HMF 3220 crane and a hydraulic hoist, will give the company serious reach and lifting strength, with:

• 25.8-metre reach
• 450kg lifting capacity at full extension
• Hydraulic hoist rated to 1950kg

Ideal for placing materials over high-level roofs, parapets, and into tight access areas, this second truck will double Phoenix Consortia’s operational capacity.

The extended fleet also includes two brand-new Versalift truck-mounted cherry pickers, giving the team the flexibility to work safely at height across even more site types.

Phoenix Consortia said, “These additions ensure we can take on complex jobs that demand not only material lifting but also direct personnel access to high elevations — perfect for inspections, installations, and reactive maintenance work.”

With these new vehicles, Phoenix Consortia is now even better equipped to handle large-scale and high-risk roofing projects, all while minimising delays and maximising safety.
