As part of the Australian Trucking Association’s (ATA) 2014 tender process, transport operators now have the chance to bid on the latest truck and trailer equipment, with the proceeds of the sales to support the ATA’s work.
Launched at last week’s Melbourne International Truck, Trailer and Equipment Show, the 2014 ATA tender offers for sale a Volvo FH540 Euro 5 prime mover, one Thermo King painted 75th anniversary Precedent S600 fridge unit, one Thermo King SB330 fridge unit, and a CIMC flat deck B-double curtain-sider combination.
“In 2014, we are excited to present four separate items for sale by tender. The proceeds of these sales will support the ATA’s campaigns to improve the safety, professionalism and viability of the Australian trucking industry,” said ATA Director, Kathy Williams.
“Volvo Trucks Australia has generously provided a new Volvo FH540 prime mover…CIMC Trailers, Marshall Lethlean and now GTE are continuing to demonstrate their enormous commitment, now in its fourth year, to the Australian trucking industry. This year they have stepped things up again with a superbly versatile flat deck B-double curtain-sider trailer set. We’d also like to thank the many OEM suppliers who have made generous contributions to these trailers.
“Thermo King began supplying fridge units to support the ATA in 1996. This year, Thermo King continues its support with a Precedent S600 unit painted to celebrate 75 years of Thermo King, as well as the SB330 fridge unit taken from the ATA Safety Truck. The Precedent unit was the first Precedent brought to Australia.”
Bids will close at 5pm on 19 May, with the winners to be announced at Trucking Australia 2014, which will be held at Hamilton Island on 6-7 June. The winning bidders for each item will also receive free registration at Trucking Australia 2014, as well as airfares and accommodation for two people.
