Mason Bros, the authorised Develon dealer for South and Mid Wales, has supplied an order for eight new Develon wheel loaders placed by the UK operation of HeavyMovement.
The order comprises six DL420CVT-7 and two DL280-7 models. Most of the wheel loaders are equipped with Develon’s transparent bucket safety system, that allows a wheel loader operator to see the bucket blind spots on the machine through the in-cab monitor.
The DL420CVT-7 wheel loaders have been supplied for use at the melt shop project for one the largest steel recycling companies in the UK. The DL280-7 wheel loaders are in use at two other locations as part of the contract. The melt shop has the capacity to produce 1.2 million tonne of low emission circular steel annually, from UK sourced scrap metal.
Richard Smart, UK project manager for HeavyMovement UK, said: “We chose the Develon wheel loaders based on our excellent experience with these products on previous projects. The role of Mason Bros was also key. From the outset they have been very proactive on behalf of Develon and the project, providing us with brilliant support and back-up throughout.
“We work under the premise of improving productivity, ensuring the quality of processes and guaranteeing the maximum safety of our operations. So the high performance and fuel efficiency of the wheel loaders were very important and the added safety provided by the transparent bucket system was also key in selecting Develon.“
