eStar Expands Higson Edwards Fleet With Bespoke Mercedes-Benz Actros Flatbeds

eStar Truck & Van has completed the second phase of a four-vehicle order for Higson Edwards, the largest and oldest Steel Stockholder in Merseyside, delivering two 18-tonne Mercedes-Benz Actros flatbed trucks fitted with bespoke 8950mm bodies.

This latest handover completes Higson Edwards’ investment in a fleet tailored to its day-to-day needs. Each vehicle has been built to a custom specification, with a clear focus on practicality, durability, and flexibility when it comes to carrying loads.

Finished in Higson Edwards’ distinctive turquoise blue livery, the trucks also reinforce the company’s strong and recognisable presence on the road.

As part of the upgrade, three older non-Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been replaced, with an additional truck added to support ongoing growth and increasing operational demands.

All four vehicles are supplied with a full Repair and Maintenance (R&M) package and will be serviced at eStar’s flagship Knowsley Truck site, helping to keep them running reliably while ensuring consistent aftersales support.

Joseph Thompson, Truck Sales Consultant at eStar who managed the deal, said: “It has been a pleasure to work with Sean and the team at Higson Edwards.  These vehicles have been specified exactly to Higson Edwards high standards.  Supported by our service department at Knowsley, I look forward to a continued relationship between eStar and Higson Edwards.”

Sean Madden, Transport Manager at Higson Edwards, added: “The service from eStar has been excellent from start to finish. The delivery and collection process was straightforward, and the aftersales support at Knowsley played a big part in our decision to go ahead with the order. These vehicles are a great fit for our operation and will support our continued growth.”

Completing this order further strengthens the relationship between eStar and Higson Edwards, built on a shared commitment to quality, reliability and strong customer service.
