Clee Hill Expands Hire Fleet With More Kubota Mini Excavators

Clee Hill Plant Ltd continues to modernise and expand its plant fleet with the delivery of a number of Kubota mini excavators.

Including some additional dumpers, it brings to over £500,000 the total value of orders that Clee Hill has placed with regular supplier, BTE Plant Sales, in the previous 12 months.

The latest machines include the Kubota 3-tonne KX61-3, the 5-tonne KX161-3, and the newest addition to the range, the 8-tonne KX080-3, together with some 3, 6 and 9 tonne dumpers.

Clee Hill Plant, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2005, is the UK's largest independent compaction and surface dressing plant hire company. Based in Chesterfield, it has depots in Glasgow, Darlington, Chesterfield, Stoke-on-Trent, Peterborough, Ludlow and Dartford.

These latest purchases see Clee Hill increase its fleet of mini excavators and dumpers to further complement its fleet of compaction equipment.
 
Said Managing Director David Hargreaves: "We always go for leading brands for the benefit of our customers, and Kubota offers the best range of machines in the mini excavator sector".

"They continue to introduce valuable new features. I am very impressed with the security devices on their latest machines, specifically the 'ANTI-THEFT' key system that now comes as standard.  Theft is a growing concern to the industry and I am always looking for more secure plant to offer our customers."

Clee Hill has an annual turnover of £9 million and a staff of 130. With a strong commitment to service it is recognised as an Investor in People and has a Lloyd's accredited quality management system.

Its plans include growing the company still further until it has at least 10 depots UK-wide.

BTE Plant Sales, of Markfield, Leicester has been supplying Clee Hill with plant and equipment, including Kubota mini excavators and other products, for many years.

Said David Hargreaves: "I have always found BTE to be highly pro-active and extremely willing to meet our specific requests. Over the years I have built up an excellent working relationship with its Managing Director, Ben Elliott. We both share the same ethos when it comes to providing excellent customer care, and our growth has gone hand-in-hand with theirs."

Kubota is the European and world leader in mini excavators and offers the widest range of minis available from a single manufacturer. Customers can select from 18 base models, spanning the weight range from 850 kg to 8-tonnes and including the largest selection of increasingly popular zero tail swing machines.

Kubota minis have a legendary reputation for quality, performance, reliability and excellent residual values, coupled with first-class dealer support.

Owners and hirers also now benefit from the unique key-based 'ANTI-THEFT' complete security system, on all models from 1.5 to 8 tonnes, the first and still the only one of its kind fitted as standard equipment by a mini excavator manufacturer.
