North East-based contract crushing firm takes delivery of new Terex Finlay J-1160 mobile crusher 

A LEADING North East contract crushing company has taken delivery of a new Terex Finlay J-1160 mobile jaw crusher from Finlay Plant Northern. 

Established in 1964 and with headquarters in Langley Moor, Co. Durham, Ward Bros Plant Hire Ltd have operated in the contract crushing sector for more than 25 years, but the J-1160 is the first Terex Finlay machine they have ordered from Finlay Plant Northern.

The machine was specified due to its versatility, quick set-up time and mobility, and has been introduced into the company’s fleet for projects in the south of Scotland. 

‘The J-1160 was the most suitable machine available for the application we required at the time,’ said Stewart Ward of Ward Bros. ‘It is a good producer, well-designed and operator friendly. So far it has done well.’

Charlie Nairn, managing director of Finlay Plant Northern, part of the Finlay Group of companies, added: ‘The mobility and compact size of the J-1160 jaw crusher means it can move easily to different sites and deliver a high volume of end product.’
