Shellplant Ltd of Earls Barton is proud to announce that it has secured an order from H.E. Services (Plant Hire) Ltd for the supply of over 100 Thwaites dumpers.
The order includes Thwaites’ market-leading One Tonne Hi Tip dumpers. Compact in size, with a width of 1195 mm for optimum stability, these are ideal machines for working in confined spaces or where access is limited. They also benefit from user-friendly hydrostatic transmission which makes operation simple, together with an effective and efficient skip loader.
Additionally, the order comprises Thwaites 3 Tonne Powerswivel dumpers which are also fitted with hydrostatic transmission for simple operation. The machines are powered by a Yanmar Stage V 18.1 kW engine which provides, via the hydrostatic transmission, optimum traction and control. Like the Thwaites One Tonne machines, the 3 Tonne Powerswivel dumpers are very simple and straightforward to control making them the ideal choice for hire fleets.
These machines, which are fitted with immobilisers and trackers, are now available to hire throughout the UK via H.E. Services (Plant Hire) Ltd network of 11 depots located across the UK mainland.
Shellplant and H.E. Services enjoy a long heritage in the industry, both trading since 1972. This was the year when Hugh Edeleanu, founder of H.E. Services, purchased his first second-hand excavator, marking the start of H.E. Services. Since then, H.E. Services has grown to become Europe’s largest excavator hire company.
Driving this has been the company’s commitment to people, quality and service. Now with a fleet of over 3500 items of plant, and a policy of machine replacement at three years, H.E. Services can provide hires for a duration from one day to over 25 years, to anywhere in the country from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
Hugh Edeleanu, chairman, H.E. Services (Plant Hire) Ltd, said: “Thwaites dumpers have a long and good pedigree and have always been very well designed and built. We are proud to be purchasing British designed and British-built machinery from a very well-established British business that has an excellent dealer network in the UK to back up its top-quality products.
“Thwaites dumpers are always very well accepted on-site and have a high level of safety features, with our customers giving us very good feedback on these machines.”
Shellplant partner Julian Payne said: “We are delighted to receive this large Thwaites dumper order from H.E. Services and thank them for the business.
We look forward to supporting H.E. Services with their ongoing service requirements for the dumpers, and, through high levels of customer service, to becoming a trusted supply partner in the future.”
