Daimler Truck has strengthened its presence in Tasmania with new Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Freightliner dealerships.

AJL Heavy Equipment will now sell and service Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner trucks at facilities in Burnie and Hobart, in addition to a service branch in Devonport.

Up until now the company had operated a service facility in Burnie, supporting the products for Tasmanian-based operators.

Daimler’s Daniel Whitehead (pictured above with AJL’s Managing Director, Andrew Lawson), said AJL Heavy Equipment’s three dealerships will greatly benefit operators with trucks on Tasmanian roads.

“We are excited to boost support for our customers in Tasmania, as well as those based on the mainland who have trucks operating in that state,” he said. “AJL Heavy Equipment has a proven track record putting the customer first when it comes to servicing, so it makes great sense to expand their footprint and include a sales function. We know our customers will be thrilled with this vastly improved support in this vital market.”

AJL Heavy Equipment Pty Ltd was established in 1987 by the current Managing Director, Andrew Lawson.

Mr Lawson, a qualified diesel fitter, has grown the business from a one-person operation based in a small workshop in Burnie to an operation that now consists of 130 full-time employees across three sites in Tasmania and three in Melbourne, Victoria.
