And operations manager Neil Livermore says that local dealer S&B Commercials is also now processing orders for another two chassis, one for each bodybuilder.
"The Arocs is now our preferred skip-loader chassis," states Livermore, pointing to the impressive S ClassicSpace cabs and his choice of the 7.7-litre, 240bhp straight-six engine mated to Mercedes PowerShift 3 automated transmission.
"It looks great and offers all of the reliability and durability we've come to expect from Mercedes-Benz trucks – which is important, given that we rely on them to give us many years of hassle-free service," he continues.
"Most important of all, though, the Arocs has been very well received by our customers. They appreciate how comfortable and easy it is to drive, and how well it performs, particularly on rough sites."
Livermore adds that in his experience, if you provide long-term cutworms with nice new trucks, they're reluctant to give them back – and that's certainly what's happening with the new Arocs.
All Scammell's latest Arocs trucks were acquired through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.
Scammell Commercial, which is 25 this year, supplies vehicles on spot hire and contract rental to operators across the south east – many working out of Tilbury Docks and along the A13 between London and Southend-on-Sea.
Its fleet of 50 rental vehicles includes refuse trucks, hook-loaders and tractor units, as well as skip-loaders.
In addition to the three new Arocs, Scammell's fleet includes seveal other Mercedes-Benz trucks, including 18-tonne Axors, one of which dates back to 2005, low-entry Econics with compactor bodies and a 32-tonne Actros.
