Emmitt Plant say they are looking to support more tier one projects, so much so they’ve worked with Molson Equipment to upgrade their fleet’s fuel efficiency. This sustainability-focused procurement drive has led to a switch to Kobelco excavators, starting with a bumper deal for 13t and 21-tonne excavators.

The deal is designed to give the East Anglia-based plant and tool hire business, the reliable performance, and low fuel consumption needed, to meet the requirements of tier one contractors.

The new Kobelco models will join a fleet of excavators, dumpers, rollers and telehandlers.

All of Emmitt’s new machines have been fitted with rotation circuits, which enable them to use a range of attachments, also available to hire, from breakers to rotating grabs. They also have a distinctive reflective counterweight wrap, meaning they’ll always be easily spotted on-site.

Managing Director for Emmitt Plant, Luke Findlay, said, “These new machines are exactly what we need to continue to fulfil high-value contracts. Partnering with dealers that we can have faith in, like Molson Equipment, means we can face a challenging market with greater confidence. We’re very excited to get these excavators out onto customer sites.”

Sales Manager for Molson Equipment, Chris Beckingsale, added, “Kobelco’s frugal fuel consumption and reliability were a perfect match for Emmitt Plant and their customers. It’s great to be able to support an ambitious business to meet their commercial goals with quality machinery and aftersales support.”
