Based at South Normanton, right on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border and just off M1 Junction 28 – Maun Motors’ Truck and Lorry Hire Department is ideally situated to service Derby City and the surrounding areas of Beadsall, Borrowash, Draycott, Elvaston, Denby, Duffield, Little Eaton, Mapperley, Ilkeston, Findern, Spondon and Mackworth. So, if you’re looking for Articulated Lorry hire near Derby, look no further than Maun Motors Self Drive for the complete package.

 

Maun Motors boast a self drive hire fleet of modern, Euro 6 / Euro VI specification Tractor Units, available with 6×2 drivetrains and 44,000 Kg Maximum Train Weight. Models include Iveco Stralis HI WAY Euro VI, MAN TGX, Mercedes-Benz Actros and Volvo FM tractor units. Standard specifications include: automatic transmissions, high roof sleeper cabs & fuel-saving aero kits.

 

To complement our range of tractor units, we also hire 40 foot tri-axle trailers with Moffett forklift attachments. Due to customer demand we have introduced several straight frame semi-trailers – including curtain-side HGV trailers and flatbed HGV trailers – to our self drive rental fleet.  These are all equipped with mounting kits at the rear to enable a Moffett forklift to be carried on the trailer.  These trailers are available to hire alongside our tractor units, at additional cost.  We also have the largest self-drive fleet of Moffett fork lifts in the UK! Therefore, Maun Motors offers the full package of & Artic hire for Derby and Derbyshire.

 

Together, a semi-trailer and tractor unit are most commonly referred to as an articulated lorry or “Artic”.

 

To help our customers comply with the evolving environmental legislative requirements for commercial vehicles operating in & around UK cities like Birmingham, Bath, Greater Manchester, Sheffield, Bradford, Bristol and Portsmouth, Maun Motors can supply a selection of commercial vehicles which meet the Euro 6 emissions regulations, making them compliant for use within Clean Air Zones, without being subject to additional entry charges. Our vehicles with Euro VI emissions range from Panel Vans to Minibuses to Tractor Units.

 

Our team – based near Alfreton in Derbyshire – will be happy to assist you in finding the commercial vehicle to hire for your needs, so if you would like to discuss your requirements, please give our team a call today on 01773 810007 or use our handy contact form to request a call back.

 

 

Modern Vehicles

 

Our modern commercial vehicle rental fleet consists mainly of vans, trucks & minibuses built to meet Euro 6 emissions standards, but please state at time of booking if you intend to operate within Birmingham, or a city operating a CAZ, so that we can ensure a Euro 6 or Clean Air Zone-compliant vehicle is supplied.

What a fantastic service! This was our first time using Maun Motors as we were working out of our normal area. It was all so easy, I have to admit I was a little nervous thinking it was too good to be true, however our driver arrived picked up the vehicle no issues at all. Great value, great service and great vehicles. Thank you very much!read more

I needed a van at short notice, and although I had to hire a van a size category larger than I needed, it worked out fine. The van was in decent condition, and cleaned to an acceptable level.The van performed nicely, kept in a straight line with no pulling, had decent tyres, everything worked; it was all that you need from a short-term hire van. There was a distinct smell of oil in the cargo area, somebody must have used it for transporting a leaking engine or something in the past. The lesson here is always bring a large tarpaulin sheet when you hire a van, you never know what other people have used it for.The staff were polite, and the whole process from enquiry through pickup, to return was a very smooth and easy process. They need a driving licence share code, but even offered to help generate that at pickup if I needed help. All in all, a great experience.read more

We had a 3.5 tonn Luton van with tail lift for half a day. The van was spotless, everything in good working order. We were struggling to work out how to operate the tail lift, called the reception and they explained us the procedure no problem.I reduced by one star because the receptionist tried to charge me for the whole day but corrected the error as soon as I queried the amount with him. When paying - be attentive to the amount on the card machine.read more

Always had a good service from Maun Motors in terms of ease of rental.However, some of the people here shouldn't be on the front desk and can come across rude at times.I also picked a van up that had cleaning product over the pedals making it dangerous to drive.But overall better than some of the other van hire places locally.Also, book in advance!read more

Maun are experts in what they do, extremely reliable, great quality vehicles and a very knowledgable rental team happy to help at the end of the phone. Our business has spent tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands with them over the last couple of years and honestly can’t fault them. If you need a van or HGV, Maun are your best bet.read more

I hired this mini bus to take 3 young lads down to Devon for 5 days and we were absolutely delighted with the service and the mini bus we had. I had looked around for the best deal as the 3 lads pay for it from their own money and Maun Motors gave us the best deal. The 9 seater mini bus was ideal for all our needs and I was delighted to have the option to take it back on the Saturday morning rather than rush home to tackle the M1 on a Friday afternoon early evening. Staff were all good from my initial first contact via email to the face to face interactions. Would definitely recommend that you check this Company out for whatever you need. Superb.read more

The ultimate no frills, rock solid van hire. Book your van, turn up, 2 minutes of paperwork, off you go, come back, sign in, job done. I've had trips to the bog that have taken considerably longer than all the admin involved. Don't count on it having much fuel in when you pick up, don't worry about leaving much in when you drop off. Easy.read more

Dissapointed hire of Luton Van. Hired a Luton for 24hrs this week. Collection and staff good but the 09 registered van was past its best. After fully loading the van the shutter at the rear wS jammed and would not go down. It was raining and on our trip to Derby everything at the back was soaked even though the tail lift was up. On trying to release the tail lift it was apparent that the right side was lower than the left. I had to grab the right side forcing it up, run to the left release the safety latch then I could lower it. Nearly 50 times I needed to do this. I did call and a lady said she made a not on the invoice but that was all. Disapointedread more
