ECL Civil Engineering has strengthened its relationship with Marubeni-Komatsu after investing in a 90-machine plant deal.

Steve Tysoe, MD at ECL Civil Engineering Ltd, and Brian Graham, MD at Marubeni-Komatsu, have agreed to the package, which includes 40 Komatsu PC55 excavators, three PW148s, 24 PC138s, ten PC210s, and two 19-tonne D61 dozers

“Our primary goal with this latest investment is to extend and replenish our fleet with the best equipment available in the market to ensure the safety and efficiency of our fleet operatives,” Steve Tysoe explained. “Additionally, we aim to minimise CO2 emissions and continue to commit to greener construction practices.

“We have a long-standing relationship with the Marubeni-Komatsu team, built on their unwavering reliability and the quality of their products, making them the right supplier for our business.”

The new Komatsu machines are described as ‘powerful and environmentally-friendly’. Access to Marubeni-Komatsu’s specialist technology division is tipped to ensure carbon reduction opportunities are maximised.
