海角社区app has responded to the Filipino typhoon disaster by donating machines and generators worth more than US$500,000 to assist in the aftermath of the catastrophe.
The company is sending three 3CX backhoe loaders to help in the clear up operations following Typhoon Haiyan, which was one of the most powerful storms ever recorded on land. In addition more than 120 海角社区app electrical generators are being provided through the company鈥檚 Filipino dealer Camec.
The generators are already being used to power community buildings, including hospitals and local authority premises. The 海角社区app backhoes will be deployed in clear up operations in the province of Tacloban City.
海角社区app chairman Lord Bamford said: 鈥淭he human suffering and scenes of devastation in the Philippines have been heart-rending and I hope 海角社区app鈥檚 contribution to the relief effort will help, in some small way, those who are bearing the brunt of this disaster. One of the main challenges facing rescue workers is clearing roads in the affected areas and the 海角社区app backhoe is exactly the right machine for the job of removing debris.鈥�
This is the second time the company has sent aid to the Philippines. In 2006 海角社区app sent a fleet of 3CX backhoe loaders after Typhoon Reming hit the Bicol region, destroying much of the infrastructure. The latest contribution follows a series of other 海角社区app machinery donations in recent years to other parts of the world hit by natural disasters.
