Tilt Rotator Equipped Excavators Lancashire

We have recently added 3 Engcon tilt-rotator equipped Kubota excavators to our fleet. We already use tilt-rotators on our larger machines. These new tilt-rotators give our smaller excavators ‘wrist’ like mobility. This means that the bucket can reach difficult places and the machine can perform different types of work in a shorter time. There are also environmental benefits with less need to move the machine for advanced operations and improved fuel economy.

Laser Equipped Trencher

Our Bomag Trencher has just come out of the workshop after a major overhaul. This included fitting  a new laser guidance system. This enables us to undertake trenching with a much higher level of tolerance. This in turn reduces the quantities of drainage stone and back fill work required and ensures that drain runs are positioned at the optimum depth and fall. The Bomag is one of several trenching machines that give us the capability to tackle trenching jobs of varying sizes and with differing access. All of our operators are experienced and CPCS accredited. If you need help with trenching and drainage contact us using the Contact tab above.

Ground Works Heritage Sites – Winckley Square, Preston

Dozer Square

We have recently completed extensive drainage and culvert works as part of the Heritage Lottery & Preston BID Funded project to restore Preston’s Winckley Square. We were selected, in part, through our commitment to training, our team of local operators as well as our experience of working on ecologically sensitive and historic sites. As a local company we re proud to be part of the team that is revitalising one of Preston’s most historic landmarks.

Tracked Dumper Hire North West

We have recently added to our dumper fleet with a new Marooka 800VD 7 ton tracked dumper ready for winter. This compliments our smaller Marooka 300VD and enables us to ‘keep moving’ through conditions that bring wheeled dumpers to a standstill. Our tracked dumpers also reduce damage onsite.  If you need tracked dumper hire, with CPCS qualified operators or self drive please contact us using the tab above.

Tilt Rotation Capability Improved

We have further strengthened our range of engcon tilt rotation machines. When working on environmentally sensitive sites, this reduces environmental impact and it improves job completion time on restricted access sites. We are able to offer tiltrotator equipment machines from 6-15 tons.

The tiltrotator reduces the need to move the machine while working. It reduces the time and cost to profile and shape ponds while minimising ground disturbance.  Moving the machine less times and finishing the job faster reduces fuel consumption. A tiltrotator serves as an excavator’s wrist, with unlimited rotation and tilting up to 45 degrees in two directions. Our machines are perfect in tight spaces. With a tiltrotator the machine can work in tight spaces that would otherwise require manual labor.
