Kubota Supports Murphy Fleet Growth

With a fleet of more than 23,000 assets and celebrating 75-years in the industry J Murphy & sons has added Nine Kubota KX085-5 compact excavators, supplied by dealer Shellplant, an equipment partner of more than 30 years.
“Kubota machines form an important part of our plant and compact excavator fleet, with a significant number deployed across multiple projects to support excavation and general site works,” said Phillip Collier, Asset Manager at Murphy.
“The KX085-5 machines are used across a variety of projects for medium-scale excavation, offering a balance between compact footprint and increased digging capability. This model is proving popular due to its versatility and performance, making it well suited to a wide range of site conditions and we are seeing increased demand for machines in this class across our operations.”
Murphy works closely with established partners, like Shellplant, to ensure strong aftersales support, parts availability and service coverage across its operational footprint. The fleet is continuously reviewed to ensure that it meets operational demands, efficiency targets and sustainability objectives.
“We have developed a long-standing relationship with Shellplant over many years, built on consistent service, product knowledge and strong support,” said Mr Collier.
