BOA Not Constricted as it Adds More Kubota to Fleet.

BOA Plant Hire has been investing heavily to update its fleet of equipment, adding more than 25 Kubota compact excavators in the last six months.

The company which operates more than 100 machines, of which 80 are Kubota’s, with almost every model from the micro K008-5 through to the 8.5-tonne KX085-5 represented in the fleet.

Trading for more than a decade and working within a 50-mile radius of its Bedfordshire head office, the plant hire business provides equipment on a self-drive basis to a wide range of customers, from larger civil engineering companies to smaller builders.

Plant Manager Darren Millard is a believer in single source supply, building relationships with manufacturers and dealers to deliver consistency and ease of back-up. Around 85% of the BOA fleet has been provided by Kubota dealer Shellplant and the firm handles all warranty work when required.

“It’s much easier having a single source of supply for the fleet, for security of parts and service,” said Mr Millard. “I’ve known Tom Haywood at Shellplant for 25 years and they have always been good for the supply of machines.”

“Plus, we never have any complaints from customers with a Kubota. From the micro through to the 8- tonne machine, they may not always be the very best individual model in every sector, but Kubota are certainly the best overall,” he said.

“Since they formed a plant hire division in 2014, BOA has been a loyal Kubota customer and one with whom we have very much enjoyed working closely, we are looking forward to many more years of supplying them with Kubota machinery.” said Tom Haywood, Sales Manager at Shellplant.
