Careys make it a Bell Equipment machine double

Construction specialists continue its long association with Bell with the purchase of two B25E ADTs

THE Carey Group have taken delivery of two new B25E articulated dumptrucks from Bell Equipment, extending a relationship that is more than a decade old. With a £300 million turnover operation stretching across the UK and Ireland, London-based Careys have been using Bell ADTs since 2002 when the company first purchased five of the then-new D-series models – machines that have remained in use ever since.  

Now, with a view to upgrade its fleet by replacing older machines, Gary Condon, plant director for Careys, has once again put faith in the proven performance and reliability of Bell ADTs.

‘Bell has long impressed us with their reliability and service and the latest E-series models are the ideal combination of continuing aspects that work while making improvements to suit the demands of modern construction,’ he commented.

‘Features we particularly like were the overall design and look, the payload and the telematics. The safety features are also comprehensive and very much in line with our corporate thinking, with a range of sensors, alarms and monitors fitted as standard that provide optimum protection against accidents.’

The selection of the B25E – the smallest ADT in the Bell range – reflects the particular needs of Careys’ customer base. ‘We are often required to run ADTs for groundworks in tight environments, which best suits the ergonomics of the B25E,’ continued Mr Condon.

The two Bell B25Es were delivered in April 2015 and immediately put to work on projects in Cambridge and Birmingham, respectively. Mr Condon also confirms that feedback from operators has been excellent, while the use of Fleetm@tic – the proprietary Bell performance software – is providing real-time proof of the machines’ operational performance.

‘No matter where the Bell ADTs are located, we can monitor them remotely and we’re already seeing great results in terms of fuel economy, tonnes per load and reduced idling,’ he commented. ‘This ongoing data will help us to maximize our investment, further reinforcing our decision to return to Bell Equipment.’
