Major Commercial Vehicle and Plant Auction Features Fleet of 39 Mercedes-Benz Actros Trucks

Park Village Auctions (PVA) will host its next national simulcast auction featuring an exceptional fleet of 39 Mercedes-Benz Actros 2645LS/33 truck tractors, alongside a large inventory of commercial vehicles, yellow metal, and plant equipment.

The Mercedes-Benz fleet, comprising various FS, CKD5, and EURO 3 models (ranging from 2022-2023), represents a rare opportunity for transport and logistics operators to acquire nearly-new, premium truck tractors in a single transaction.

“This fleet of 39 Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks is undoubtedly the star attraction of our upcoming auction,” says PVA’s Clive Lazarus. “For transport companies looking to expand or renew their fleet with reliable, late-model vehicles, this represents an extraordinary opportunity that rarely comes to market.”

The assets, which stem from various liquidations and repossessions, will go a long way to “satisfying the market’s demand for reliable and affordable second-hand commercial vehicles and equipment,” adds Lazarus. “The current economic climate in South Africa makes purchasing assets at auction a financially savvy decision. Businesses can significantly reduce initial costs and improve operational efficiency by acquiring well-maintained, high-quality pre-owned machinery.”

Judging by the assets that the auction house has mentioned, the upcoming sale should attract a diverse range of buyers from key industries such as construction, logistics, transport, and manufacturing.

The centrepiece Mercedes-Benz Actros fleet will be complemented by additional truck tractors, including a 2016 Freightliner Argosy 90 CUM 500 and a 2022 UD Quester GW 26 450 (E15). Bidders can also acquire link side-tipper link trailers from Leader Trailer Bodies and Piet Retief Builders.

Specialised equipment on offer includes a 1.8m toilet paper machine rewinder, an SA Argus Master Oscillator Power Amplifier (MOPA M30) fibre optic laser machine, and a 2023 StromerPower 380v 88 kVA generator.

Most noteworthy, is a complete, fully automatic sand blasting machine (2023) comprising the following components: a shot blasting machine (S/N: XKMTQ6912-202403131), an extractor, a pneumatic system, two conveyor roller beds, a feeding section, a blasting section, a cleaning section, a bucket elevator, a hopper and feeding shot-platform, a ducting system to extract dust, a DB board, a dryer, a tank, and a screw compressor.

A 2020 Lonking CDM860 front end loader is the highlighted pick among the available earth moving equipment.
