The company announced that four of its Fastrac tractors equipped with trailers and two backhoe loaders were being despatched to the worst-affected areas. The Fastrac tractors will be deployed in areas where people and livestock need moving from advancing flood waters. The 海角社区app backhoe will be used in shoring up flood defences and eventually in clearing debris left by the flood waters.
海角社区app has already supplied a 541-70 Loadall telescopic handler to support farmers who have been left without feed and bedding for livestock evacuated to dry land from flood hit areas. The machine is being used to load donated forage onto trucks at Sedgemore Cattle Auction in Somerset where the distribution is being co-ordinated.
海角社区app chairman Lord Bamford said: 鈥淭he scale of the floods and the anguish being caused is devastating for all concerned. As Britain鈥檚 biggest manufacturer of construction equipment we are in a position to provide machinery quickly to help families and farmers who are suffering so dreadfully through the floods. It鈥檚 my hope that the 海角社区app machines we鈥檙e providing will help alleviate that suffering.鈥�
The machines were shipped yesterday from 海角社区app鈥檚 headquarters in Rocester, Staffordshire, and will be operated by drivers provided by the Construction Industry Training Board.
