Plant hire company enhances extensive fleet capabilities with new B40D articulated dumptruck

HAWK Plant Hire, one of the largest independent plant hire companies in the UK, have further enhanced their extensive fleet with the addition of a new Bell Equipment B40D articulated dumptruck (ADT).

Purchased for general plant use, the ADT has recently joined an existing fleet comprising more than 2,000 leading-name vehicles and machines.

 

To maintain their reputation for reliability, Hawk Plant pride themselves on operating an ongoing equipment renewal programme to ensure clients hire only modern, reliable machines that are efficient, productive, and compatible with the highest safety regulations.

To further develop this programme, Hawk were looking to secure a new ADT that would help improve their taskforce capabilities.

Extensive discussions with Bell Equipment, exploring the proficiencies of the BD40, led Hawk Plant to invest in their first Bell machine, as director and general manager Paul Allman explained: ‘Our reputation rides on more than 40 years’ experience in the plant hire industry and the trust our customers have placed in us during that time.

‘Our clients expect to hire machines that are not only current, but also efficient, technologically advanced and allow them to perform their trades to the highest level possible.

‘For that reason, it’s imperative that any machine we purchase for client hire makes its mark on site and delivers the results our customers are looking for. We felt the BD40 would meet with that requirement.’

Mr Allman added that buying from Bell Equipment had been in the pipeline for a while, and that Hawk Plant had been looking for an opportunity to put a Bell ADT through its paces.

He said the decision to choose the B40D model was made on the back of its high performance and extremely efficient Mercedes Benz diesel engine, which complies with EU emission standards using Blue@dvantage emissions technology.

‘The new B40D is now working alongside our other plant trucks and is delivering the results we expected,’ he continued. ‘It’s been a sound decision to bring Bell into the fleet and we expect to receive exceptional service and efficiency from the truck now and in the future.’

Richard Higgott, sales and marketing manager at Bell Equipment, said: ‘The B40D is a dependable, efficient and competent machine, and an ideal addition to any hard-working fleet.

‘We’re confident this tried-and-tested model will provide Hawk Plant and their customer base with years of reliable and cost-effective service.’
