When COVID hit and the world wobbled, most businesses played it safe. But not THS Truck Hire Solutions.
Instead of hitting pause, THS doubled down — backing Australian manufacturing and placing key orders to keep their fleet growing. One of those critical builds? A Kenworth T360 8x4 Water Truck, purpose-built by Any Type Trucks for tough site conditions and the demands of dry hire.
At the time, Sam Everingham led the charge, choosing to invest in local capability when it mattered most. While offshore supply chains were in chaos, Sam called us directly with a clear message:
“Let’s keep moving. We’ll back the work, and we’ll back you.”
That show of confidence helped keep our team working during uncertain times — and this truck is a direct result of that partnership.
🔧 Built for Work. Built to Last.
This Kenworth T360 8x4 WT was designed from the ground up to handle the harshest hire environments:
- 18,000L baffled water tank
- Hydraulic dribble bar + gravity spray options
- Rear fan sprays, batter sprays, and water cannon
- Full mine-spec fit-out (E-stops, battery isolators, handrails, etc.)
- In-cab control systems with operator-friendly layout
- Reverse camera and safety signage
- VSB6-compliant engineering and construction
The setup ensures minimal downtime, easy operator use, and durability across multiple job sites.
From THS to CST Hire — Still Going Strong
Not long after the build was delivered, CST Hire acquired THS Truck Hire Solutions, adding this truck — and others — to their growing national fleet.
It’s a great example of how quality gear holds its value and remains relevant, even as businesses evolve. Because when you build it right the first time, it keeps earning its keep.
Why It Matters
This truck isn’t just another unit on the books — it represents:
-
Real leadership during hard times
-
A commitment to local capability
-
The long-term value of building quality gear
We’re proud to have built it. And prouder still to see it still working hard under CST Hire today.
