National plant hirer Buckhurst Plant Hire have recently added more than 110 new Takeuchi machines to its ever-growing rental fleet that now exceeds 1,200 excavators.
With depots from Rossendale, Leeds and Northants to West Lothian and Aberdeen, Buckhurst are one of the largest independent national plant hirers. This expanding fleet is to meet the increased demand Buckhurst are experiencing nationwide in sectors such as renewable energy, overhead power and predominantly the water industry’s AMP8 cycle, which includes several key projects across the UK.
The new Takeuchi additions include 100 excavators weighing in from 1 to 15-tonne including 10xTB210R, 20xTB325R, 15xTB230, 30xTB260, 20xTB290-2 and 15xTB2150R models. In addition, ten of the very latest TCR50-3 tracked dumpers.
Look out for these machines as they will be sporting Andy’s Man Club branding. Buckhurst have championed AMC for many years and fully supports their campaign focussing on key issues for Men’s Mental Health and to get men talking.
John Walsh, Chairman of Buckhurst Plant Hire commented, “Our machines are seen on roads and sites across the UK, and it just might be a prompt to help someone make a change. In the male-dominated construction and plant hire sector this campaign is needed more than ever, and we are happy to promote Andys Man Club across our fleet.”
From the early days Buckhurst Plant Hire have been one of the first hirers to take Takeuchi. It’s a brand they now know well and clearly trust.
John Walsh added, “Throughout 2026 we are going to be investing in our fleet, and these Takeuchi machines are a significant part of that.
Our customers continually praise the Takeuchi excavators for their reliability and usability so adding more to our fleet was an easy decision to make. The TCR50-3 tracked dumpers also offer great functionality for our customers and we’re sure they will be a very popular hire at sites from our depots across the UK.”
