Great picture, Mark. How many bits of kit do you have?
Got between 50to 60 bits of plant. Diggers 8ton to 60ton D6T/N dozers and 20ton to 35ton adt’s then the likes of tractors, loadalls, rollers.Great picture, Mark. How many bits of kit do you have?
that is some lube truck MarkCouple photos of me standing infront of the big komatsu shovel and Volvo 950. The the large Volvo ridged Dumptruck in the photo was manufactured in the Volvo plant in Motherwell, Scotland. Only about 20 miles from where I stay.
Some of the field service truck set ups they had on show there really does put out way of working in the uk to shame. You can’t compare the set up they have to us working out of the back of a van.that is some lube truck Mark
But it's all relative though. And a bit like the Scandinavian machines that have been discussed on here before, there must be a lot more money in some areas of the industry over there. They travel some big distances to a job a wellSome of the field service truck set ups they had on show there really does put out way of working in the uk to shame.

Works ticking over in Scotland just now count do with some big road jobs or some wind farms starting to keep everything going. Most of the work atm is housing market related.How's work last as up in Scotland these days?
Was up there all the time,rail piling Glasgow,egip,Stirling dunblane Alloah,Aberdeen to Inverness,last job was up Tulloch for machine hired to Qts,between road n rail was fair bit spending
Used to work with some good lads from AB
that must be some breaker at 5.5tNew Rammer 5011E added to the fleet this week. It weighs in around 5.5ton and is for carrier weights of 40 ton to 70 ton. Big investment for us as it’s only an attachment hopefully the planned work for it all comes off. I’ve been hiring in for the past couple of years and looking at the hire costs it made sense to purchase instead of hiring.
The photos don’t do the length of it any justice. It’s over 3.5m long. We’ve always ran Rammer hammers for over 30 years now and always had a good return from them.that must be some breaker at 5.5t
Looking at the pictures it looks like you attach the pipes direct rather than use quick couplers. Do you do that for extra flow?New Rammer 5011E added to the fleet this week.

Anything bigger than a 30 ton machine we direct mount them. The couplings never last with the vibration. Normally when a client is paying for this size of machine (cat 349e 52ton) and breaker you would have a 20 or 12 ton machine there to do the cleaning out of the track. It’s been brought in to break out 5/6 meter deep service tracks.Looking at the pictures it looks like you attach the pipes direct rather than use quick couplers. Do you do that for extra flow?
Knowing what they cost for a 9 tonner you'd need to be getting a return off what i imagine that would cost. Can't beat self sufficiency if you can afford it though.The photos don’t do the length of it any justice. It’s over 3.5m long.

This time next year Rodney...I’m amazed you even have that under a QH seeing as it’s at the lower end of its carrier weight range - what a beast!
I’m sure the investment will pay off for you!

Not for wrong there on the 12 toner comment can get between £1,400 and £1,200 a week for a hammer that size. If your going to some of the bigger attachment hire company’s you could probably get them down to £1000 a week.Fantastic investment probably the price of a 13tonner new and probably get more a week for it
