Munters, a world leader in restoring property damaged because of flood and fire, which recently opened an operation in Ireland, has just taken delivery of a fleet of Ford Transits to assist in the 24-hour emergency service they provide.

Employing over 3,000 employees in 25 countries, the Swedish group specialises in returning damaged property to its former state, saving money and lessening the heartache for victims of floods and fire outbreaks. The short and medium wheelbase Transit vans are used on an around-the-clock basis by the Munters teams for getting to the scene of the outbreaks. Fitted out with racks containing various cleaning solvents as well as heavy duty drying equipment, the vans are also used for transporting damaged furniture and artefacts to the central depot in Tallaght, where they are treated.

In certain environments, cleanliness is crucial to a successful salvage operation. For this reason each vehicle is fitted with a basin, with hot running water on tap.
“In emergency scenarios, we just can’t afford downtime, that goes without saying,” explains Munters Ireland MD Robert Taylor.

“The quicker we can reach our destination, the greater the opportunity to salvage materials. The reliability of the Transit, coupled with the space it provides for all the equipment needed, gave it the nod over other vans.”
The company has also just taken on a Ford Galaxy for transporting teams around the country.
