PLANTFORCE has invested in over £1 million worth of advanced machine control technology from SITECH, equipping its new Wigan depot with Trimble Earthworks.
The investment is designed to make digital construction technology readily available to contractors looking to improve site productivity, grading accuracy, and efficiency.
SITECH delivered 30 Trimble Earthworks dozer and excavator cab kits to Plantforce for its recent North West Tech Day, where as part of the launch of the new Wigan depot, customers were invited to explore machine control and safety benefits.
Carl Parsons, strategic account manager at SITECH UK & Ireland, said, “SITECH has worked closely with Plantforce to expand its machine control offering. By integrating Trimble Earthworks into the rental fleet, operators will be able to work directly from digital designs in the cab, which helps to improve accuracy and efficiency, as well as reducing material waste.”
SITECH has worked with Plantforce for more than 10 years, helping it to develop the scope of its onboard technology in plant hire machines for UK construction, rail, major project and energy industries.
Matt Milkins, head of digital at Plantforce, added, “Plantforce has grown around the needs of our customers and by investing in the latest technology we are able to help customers deliver projects on time and safely. By working with SITECH to ensure our rental fleet is equipped with the latest technology, we have been able to help our customers enhance efficiency and increase productivity on projects across the UK.”
