New Equipment joins our fleet
2024 has seen significant ongoing investment for our business as we look to the future. With demand remaining very high for the services that we offer, we have made the decision to expand our fleet of drainage machinery again – with a new Mastenbroek Trencher and 2 new high capacity Spreadpoint Gravel carts joining our existing line up.
Director Justin Morfoot said; “2024 has seen significant levels of rainfall through the course of last winter and spring meaning that demand for drainage investment has remained high. As a business, we are looking to try and always ensure a timely level of service for our clients and we had reached a tipping point – where we need additional capacity to ensure we remained on top of things.”
The new Spreadpoint carts are a very exciting addition to the fleet as they are able to carry 16 tonnes of stone in each cart whilst also spreading the load over the twin axles and low ground pressure tyres. They will be primarily used as summer time machines when the ground conditions are dry and favourable and will ensure that we are able to shift the large quantities of stone our drainage projects typically require.
The Trencher is a new Mastenbroek 30/20 machine complete with autosteer and full GPS for precision trench excavation to the required gradients. This machine will be used on the larger drainage projects we deliver each year and sits in amongst our existing fleet of other Mastenbroek trenchers that we already run.
