Northamptonshire-based earthworks contractor James King (Plant) has added two HD Hyundai HX220A L and two HX140A L crawler excavators to its growing fleet of equipment. The company operates 53 major pieces of plant, including 10 HD Hyundai excavators.
All of the HD Hyundai machines have been delivered to local dealer Willowbrook Plant’s in-house specification, with standard hydraulic breaker lines, HD Hyundai’s all around vision monitor (AAVM) 360° camera system and a full ‘boxing ring’ of safety handrails on the superstructure.
“We have also added GPS preparation for our Trimble machine control system on the 22-tonne machines,” said director Patrick King.
Plant manager Gary Follen continued: “The Hyundai reliability is superb. We don’t have to put many spanners on them. Generally, we don’t get any problems once they are up and running.”
The company dedicates one operator to each machine, with many of its staff having been with the firm for multiple years. “We’ve got a very loyal workforce and we treat them well. They really like the Hyundai excavators,” added King
The business has had a positive 2024 and is looking for continued growth going forwards, as it looks to meet the changing needs of its customer base.
