PLANT and tool hire specialist FTH Hire Group has ordered 24 new Kubota mini-excavators from dealer Lister Wilder.
The haul – a combination of one, three and eight-tonne models – forms part of a total planned investment in 188 Kubota machines in 2023.
FTH Hire Group has recently made a multi-million pound investment that includes opening depots in Scotland, Chelmsford and Southampton during the past 12 months.
Rob Watson, marketing manager at FTH Hire Group, said, “We have a fantastic range of new excavators for hire and pride ourselves on supplying the latest and best equipment available for our customers. Meeting their needs is vitally important and that is why we have a large fleet of Kubota machines, which are powerful and reliable to tackle the toughest tasks.
“Running a fleet of 670 excavators across our 10 depots in the UK means we couldn’t operate a successful business if the downtime on our machines wasn’t kept to a minimum. That’s why 80% of our diggers are manufactured by Kubota and backed up by first class service and after care from Lister Wilder.
“The wider geographical spread of our depots enables us to enhance our business operations, and further improve our ability to meet the needs of our customers – bringing us closer geographically to many more.”
