Thwaites have announced the supply, by distributor Lister Wilder, of a 4.5-ton Hydrostatic Power Swivel Dumper to the Ovenden Group, one of the first to be sold in the UK.
Thwaites distributor manager (south) Paul Rodwell commented. “The 4.5 tonner has long been a very popular machine overseas, its easy to operate, efficient and incredibly effective on site. Here in the UK, the standard range ‘norm’ is to move from a 3-ton Dumper straight to a 6-ton machine”.
Commenting, MD Tristan Ovenden said, “We have purchased this 4.5ton Hydrostatic Power Swivel Dumper to complement our growing fleet of some 30 Dumpers. The machine will be hired out to contractors across the South East, down to the Kent coast by our compact Plant Hire division Boss Plant Hire”
Continuing Mr Ovenden said, “We saw a real opportunity to provide a machine for hire that could give more power and performance than a typical 3 ton machine, yet not be the physical size of a 6ton machine. We also believe the hydrostatic machine gives significant safety and maintenance advantages, meaning we can better optimise utilisation, offering a great Thwaites Dumper at a competitive hire rate to our customers”.
Concluding Paul Rodwell said, I was delighted to work with Lister Wilder’s sales manager Paul Mahoney and Tristan from Ovenden, we trust further plant hire and contracting business will discover how the 4.5-ton Hydrostatic Power Swivel from Thwaites can add real value to their Dumper fleet.
