McIntosh Plant Hire (Aberdeen) Ltd

Promotional model trucks specialist Search Impex is pleased to announce the release of a 1:50 scale MAN TGX XXL (8×4) tractor unit with ballast box, customised in the livery of McIntosh Heavy Logistics – a subsidiary of Scottish operator McIntosh Plant Hire (Aberdeen) Ltd.

This model is the fourth release in Series 2 of the Haulage Heavyweights collection of solo tractor units from Search Impex and has been produced exclusively for Search Impex by WSI Collectibles as a certificated Limited Edition (155 pieces).

McIntosh Plant Hire (Aberdeen) Ltd., is the North East of Scotland’s leading earthworks, plant / transport hire and heavy haulage company. Today’s business stemmed from a company owned and run by the current Managing Director’s father. Incorporated in 1976, the Company is a wholly owned and family run business, operating from a modern purpose built 62 acre site 10 miles west of Aberdeen. With a combined experience of more than 100 years in the industry, work undertaken ranges from straight forward topsoil supplies, through to major earthwork projects. The company has a wealth of experience in every aspect of earthmoving and general civil engineering groundworks and employs a 50 strong workforce. Projects undertaken include new housing and industrial developments, new construction and upgrade of existing road networks and the construction of golf courses (having completed five new Scottish courses to date).

The Company’s activities also extend to the heavy and abnormal haulage sector, courtesy of its subsidiary McIntosh Heavy Logistics (MHL) which, with a fleet of ten low loaders, operates throughout the UK. Loads of up to 150 tons, (STGO Cat 3), can be carried, but MHL also has the capacity to carry / move loads of up 240 tons gross, quayside. Whilst, as would be expected, MHL takes care of the in-house movement requirements for McIntosh Plant Hire (Aberdeen) Ltd’s earthmoving equipment, its core business is the transportation of equipment for many major companies within the oil industry. MHL provides a complete logistics package from quotation stage and route planning, through to all the necessary authority notifications and end of journey crane lifting requirements.
