AER Rents, a specialist hire and sales group in the UK and Ireland, has announced a multi-million-pound agreement with global machinery manufacturer Sany. The deal will see 50 new machines — including telehandlers and excavators — join the fleets at MPH Hire & Sales, DHS Complete Hire, and Chippindale Hire & Sales over the summer.
This significant investment highlights AER Rents’ strong market confidence and commitment to safe, productive, and sustainable growth. Before finalizing the agreement, AER Rents conducted extensive due diligence, including visiting Sany’s advanced manufacturing facilities in China to assess quality and support capabilities.
“This is more than a fleet refresh — it’s a clear signal of our ambition,” said Gavin Pitt, CEO of AER Rents. “We’re growing, working with the best, and putting performance, safety, and sustainability at the heart of what we offer our customers.”
The order includes a diverse range of excavators, from compact to mid-sized models, and marks Sany’s largest telehandler order to date. Deliveries will be managed by Sany.’s regional dealers: Banner Equipment for Chippindale, Sany’s direct team for MPH, and Sleator Plant for DHS in Ireland.
“This fleet expansion is fantastic news,” said Rob Gowling, General Manager at Banner Equipment. “It strengthens our long-standing relationship with Chippindale and further connects the AER Rents Group with SANY across the UK and Ireland.”
