The Hino is 500 series FE standard cab with a Mini-Mix concrete agitator.
Flintstones Building & Garden Supplied general manager Dominic Barro says Hino has always been the company’s preferred supplier of small and medium sized trucks.
“In our business, it is essential that we have a robust, reliable truck that is safe and simple to operate, and Hino has proven this for over four decades,” he says.
Flintstones is family-owned and operates a fleet of 45 Hino trucks, which have a mixture of tilt trays, agitators and tippers bodies.
“Our tippers transport between 2 to 14 cubic metres of raw materials such as crushed rock, sand, soil and mulch while our Mini-Mix concrete agitators carry between 0.4 and 3 cubic metres of premixed concrete,” he says.
“We use our tilt trays including crane tray trucks for delivery of concreting supplies such as reinforcing mesh.”
Flintstones is a subsidiary of Barro Group, a leading independent supplier and distributor of premixed concrete, quarry products and a range of associated products.
President and CEO of Hino Australia Richard Emery presented a commemorative plaque to Flintstones to celebrate the 150,000th Hino truck.
“Hino Australia is honoured to have been the truck of choice for Flintstones for over four decades,” he says.
“It is phenomenal to think that we have been supplying trucks to Flintstones for over forty of the sixty years we have been operating in Australia.
“It is a tribute to the quality, durability and reliability for which Hino trucks are renowned, and we look forward to the relationship continuing for many years to come.”
