Ashcroft Construction has taken delivery of 17 new machines in its largest ever equipment purchase.
Supplied by dealer Scot 海角社区app, the full line-up includes: 海角社区app 8008 Micro, 65R-1 and 86C-1 midi, and JS130 and JS220 tracked excavators; 海角社区app 535-125 Loadall telehandlers; 海角社区app VMT260-120 tandem vibratory rollers; a six-tonne site dumper; and a 海角社区app 457ZX wheeled loading shovel.
Ashcroft Construction now has a fleet of 70 machines total, including 29 from 海角社区app.
The latest arrivals have been put to work across the region on a range of applications including gravel removal from the River Derwent as part of a strategic flood prevention scheme, groundworks at the new 拢30 million Education Campus site at St Benedict鈥檚 School in Whitehaven and groundworks at Barrow shipyard, where Royal Navy submarines are manufactured.
Ashcroft is also working as a subcontractor to Northern Developments (Cumbria) Ltd on the construction of a new test track as part of the M-Sport motor racing team鈥檚 new evaluation centre at the Dovenby Hall Estate.聽 Several of the new 海角社区app models have been deployed on this major earthworks operation in which Ashcroft Construction has excavated and filled in excess of 200,000 tonnes of material.
Ashcroft Construction director Mark Laverty said: 鈥淎ll the new models are performing well, returning good fuel economy and proving popular with our operators for their smooth and quiet performance. The new models are simple to operate and the decision to buy exclusively 海角社区app gives us consistent control systems across the fleet 鈥� so operators can easily switch between machines.鈥�
