The new arrival takes Thompson’s Hyundai fleet up to 11 machines, comprising six loading shovels and five excavators. It was supplied by local Hyundai dealer Taylor & Braithwaite (T&B).
The 30-tonne long-reach excavator is already working across the Scottish border on a Lafarge Tarmac two-year ‘wet excavation’ project where the machine will be digging sand and gravel.
Thompsons plant manager Simon Winthorpe said “We have worked with T&B and Hyundai since 2010 – it’s the reliability of the machines, cost, a very good warranty and the excellent back up service that has cemented our relationship with T&B.”
