Roadstone, part of the CRH group, has upgraded its plant and equipment with Komatsu and Metso machines across multiple sites in the Republic of Ireland, reinforcing its position in the aggregates and concrete production sector. The investment, supplied by McHale Plant Sales, includes advanced wheel loaders, excavators, dump trucks, and mobile crushing units.
“For an organisation of its size, Roadstone has always been diligent when it comes to investing in plant and equipment,” said McHale Plant sales director Denis McGrath. “Whether responding to growing demand or replacing ageing machinery, CRH and Roadstone have always understood the importance of staying ahead of the curve with fully functioning equipment to meet the needs of their operations.”
The Komatsu fleet additions feature WA475, WA600, and a WA800 wheel loader with a 24- tonne capacity bucket, along with PC360 and HB365 hybrid excavators. A number of HD605 rigid dump trucks were also delivered, enhancing Roadstone’s transport capacity. On the crushing side, Metso Lokotrack LT120 jaw and LT200HP and LT300HP cone crushers were supplied for Roadstone’s Brownswood quarry in Wexford and Rock Big quarry in Arklow, Co. Wicklow. According to McHale Plant Sales these are what are required for what it described as “the hardest rock in Ireland”
