Evolve and Adapt! – Transform older vehicles with IHS UK and give them new purpose

Kickstarting your business or expanding your current arsenal can be a costly process. Buying a brand new vehicle body and then paying for this to house the latest innovation can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

This does not have to be the case!

At IHS UK we specialize in Retrofitting. This is a process where we can add any component or accessory to a vehicle it did not have when originally manufactured. Retrofitting drastically reduces the expenditure that accompanies a new business venture.

RETROFIT IN ACTION!

For a concrete pump truck to be registered as a ‘mobile pumping vehicle’ it needs to be fitted with a boom. Without a boom it would need to be registered as a HGV and include all the relevant operators licenses that accompany this. When registered as a mobile pumping vehicle it can be driven on a standard car license without additional operator licenses.

IHS UK were approached by a customer who required this amendment but the costs of a brand new mobile pumping vehicle were too much of an investment.

In just 4 days, IHS sourced, fit, and commissioned a boom onto the customers truck, ready for a job on day 5.

At IHS UK, we pride ourselves on our ability to meet the customers exact requirements, in a limited time scale, whilst ensuring profit margins are considered at every stage of the process.
