Please note that any Heavy goods vehicles supplied i.e. 7.5 Tonne Trucks are not supplied with a spare tyre or Jacks. The reason for this is that it is not possible for this type of vehicle to have a tyre changed by an untrained person and the vehicle has to be jacked up by specialised lifting gear. So, if a vehicle of this type is on hire to any of our customers and a puncture occurs, then, it will be the customer's responsibility to locate a professional tyre replacement company and pay the cost required to replace the damaged tyre. This even applies if a puncture occurs overseas. BMR will not pay any incurred costs relating to this situation or to any theft of any parts on our hired vehicles.
