Shechem Events has taken delivery of three new Sinotruk Howo M3 Rigid 5200MM trucks from Patison, and this story covers the first, registered KDY 059X. It was handed over in clean factory white, with the speed limiter already fitted and the cab still carrying its factory wrapping – brand new and ready to be put to work. For an events company, being set up on time is the whole job, and owning the trucks means the business sets its own timetable. With this order, Shechem Events joins the growing number of Kenyan businesses running Sinotruk Howo trucks bought through Patison.
Read about the other two trucks in this order: Shechem Events grows its fleet with a second Sinotruk Howo M3 Rigid 5200MM and Shechem Events completes a three-truck order with a Sinotruk Howo M3 Rigid 5200MM.
The Howo M3 Rigid 5200MM is a 4×2 rigid truck with a 5,200 millimetre wheelbase, a 220 horsepower Weichai engine and a gross vehicle weight of 18,000 kilogrammes. Event equipment takes up far more space than it weighs, so the length of the body matters here more than raw payload. The rigid build keeps the truck steady with a tall load on board, and a rigid is far easier to bring into a venue compound than a trailer. For a business that carries its own kit rather than pulling a trailer, it is one of the most practical trucks you can buy in Kenya.
Patison handled the sale, the paperwork and the handover. Trucks bought through Patison can be financed from a 5% deposit through our partner banks, and they come with warranty cover and driver training.
