During the late nineties, Alexander Bast seemed to have run out of luck. Orders had dried up in his bricklaying job and he had to reorientate himself. He took his future into his own hands. In 1998, together with his wife, he set up his own landscaping and gardening business, a field he was passionate about, which would allow him to utilise his skills. A courageous step, since he was going to rely solely on his own resources to establish the business. Over the years the family business gained experience and expanded. Now, Mr Bast employs 13 long-standing members of staff and has an impressive track record: He has many satisfied customers and an impressive fleet of machinery, including tippers, wheel loaders, mini diggers and numerous other gadgetry - stored on extensive premises, which he extended by buying an adjacent property in 2013.

Back at the construction site: The MEILLER tipper type 2.5 returns to the garden with a new load. The driver has picked up basalt grit from a nearby quarry. There, a wheel loader filled the 7-ton truck with hard-wearing volcanic rock. The tipper seems unaffected by the heavy-duty work. Looking at the empty tipper body at the end of the day, there are no particular wear marks from consistent and tough heavy-duty deployment.

That is Alexander Bast's reason for choosing the robust MEILLER superstructures. "Our machinery needs to be hard-wearing. We transport big rocks, natural stone, rubble or several pallets of concrete goods." The robust transporter chassis tippers are indispensable when it comes to transporting material and machinery to private gardens without leaving any major damage behind. At the same time, they offer the highest possible payloads for the transportation of stone, concrete, gravel and grit.

For the provision of his vehicles, Mr Bast values a one-stop provider. He orders his tippers directly from the truck manufacturers. Nevertheless, special requests are made possible by talking directly to MEILLER, who will charge for them separately.
