FINNING has delivered the first two Cat 255 compact track loaders (CTL) in the UK to Kip Planer.
The models build on the success of the D3 series CTL machines and promise ‘more power, better performance and a level of comfort not seen before’.
Chris Scource, director of Devon-based Kip Planer, has reportedly seen immediate benefits of the new Cat 255.
“Having owned various Cat CTLs over the past 15 years I was keen to try out the latest model and was impressed immediately with the new advancements and enhanced features that will benefit my operator’s productivity,” he said. “I have previously purchased machines from Finning, my longstanding relationship with their team has been key to acquiring the latest machines before they had even landed in the UK.
“The CTL is an extremely versatile and efficient machine and given the varied nature of the work we do, they are the ideal machine for us. The latest models are a real advance on the previous ones – offering easy access for maintenance, enhanced productivity and accuracy when operating. They’re really quick and agile too which is a benefit when out on site.”
Krista Barden, territory account manager at Finning UK & Ireland, added, “At Finning we always put our customers first, and we’re proud to develop and maintain long-lasting relationships, and Chris is no exception. Always keen to integrate new technology into his fleet, Chris ordered the machines before they had been formally launched here in the UK.
“When the machines arrived on UK soil, Chris and his team were able to visit them while they were being prepared for site use at the local Finning branch where he was able to oversee the works and ensure any bespoke application modifications were complete. The end result felt like a collaboration between us and Chris to deliver the best machines possible that were a perfect fit for his business needs.”
