HAWKES Group has added two Hyundai HX220AL crawler excavators to its growing fleet.
The Kettering-based business has created a one-stop-shop for machinery, with plant hire, demolition, earthworks and transport divisions, including sweeper and tipper hire.
The company’s fleet also includes mobile crushing and screening equipment, along with smaller non-operated machinery like rollers, site dumpers and attachments.
All of the firm’s Hyundai machines have been provided by local dealer Willowbrook Plant.
“Hawkes Demolition purchased its first Hyundai excavator in 2018 and the brand has been a consistent part of our fleet ever since,” said Reece Hawkes, MD of Hawkes Demolition. “We operate 34 Hyundai excavators across the business, currently ranging from 13-tonnes to 30-tonnes. That number continues to grow, as we expand our operations and invest in reliable, well-supported equipment.”
The HX220AL is a 22-tonne conventional tail-swing crawler excavator, powered by a 129kW (173hp) Cummins B6.7 Stage V diesel engine. Suited to construction, earthmoving and demolition work, the A-Series machine benefits from Electronic Pump Flow Control (EPFC) hydraulics.
All Hyundai A-Series crawler excavator cabs feature automatic climate control and an air suspended seat, which can be heated as an option. The machines have the Hi-Mate telematic system, which helps customers see in real-time how their equipment is performing. The system also provides remote diagnosis and positioning information.
With a strong relationship with Hyundai and Willowbrook, Hawkes is now expanding into other machine categories.
“We’ve placed an order for the first Hyundai dozer to enter the UK through our dealer Willowbrook Plant. It will be joining our contracting division,” added Reece Hawkes.
