CIVIL engineering contractor Shannonside has added eleven Thwaites dumpers to its fleet via distributor BTE Plant Sales.
The deal, which comprised eight six-tonne forward tip ROPS+ dumpers and three three-tonne forward tip machines, will enhance a fleet that, in the words of Shannonside MD Brendan Carty, is ‘99% Thwaites’.
Brendan added, “Our honest belief is that Thwaites dumpers are the best in the business. We bought Thwaites when we started the business in 2014 and continue to buy today. I believe that if you look after and maintain a Thwaites dumper it will last you a lifetime.”
The ROPS+ dumper that forms part of this deal offers further protection to the operator with its wrap around steel frame; pull down roll bar and ‘triple lock’ motion inhibiter. The machine will start but not drive until the operator is sat on the seat, the seat belt is fastened, and the overhead bar is locked in place.
Rebecca Bryson, MD of BTE, commented, “We would like to thank Brendan and everyone at Shannonside for their continued trust and support. Their confidence in both BTE and Thwaites over so many years means a great deal to us. We are incredibly proud to have built such a strong and lasting partnership and are greatly appreciative of their continued business and loyalty. We look forward to working with Shannonside for many more years to come.”
