Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage’s substantial £57m investment with Finning UK & Ireland has resulted in the addition of 305 new Cat machines to its fleet, complete with a full range of machine technology packages and specialist operator training.
The new machines include a number of next gen excavators with built-in functions such as e-fence, load count capacity and Trimble earthworks machine control. Models include the Cat 320, Cat 330, Cat 336, Cat 352, and Cat 374. Lynch also purchased 20 Cat GC excavators – ten each of the Cat 313 and Cat 320 GC models.
The recent acquisitions also included a range of Cat dozers including multiple D3, D5, D6, D7 and D8 models – including the highly efficient XE which offers ‘best in class’ fuel savings for customers – a huge advantage in the face of rising fuel costs.
These purchases bolster Lynch’s existing fleet of dozers and mean that the company now run one of the UK’s largest dozer fleets. Recognising the opportunity for investment in grading machines, Lynch has further strengthened its expanding fleet by introducing two Cat 14 graders, and has even more in the pipeline, with further D8 and D6 dozers on order. These investments only help Lynch to level up efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Jake Wright, head of regional sales at Finning UK & Ireland, said: “Lynch has been a customer with Finning for more than adecade. Over the last two and a half years they’ve really ramped up their operations because of their involvement in some big infrastructure projects across the UK.”
