Specialist demolition hirer boosts Doosan fleet.
JCH Plant Hire Limited, the Coatbridge-based specialist demolition equipment rental company, has taken delivery of a new demolition specification Doosan DX300LC-3 Stage IIIB compliant 30 tonne crawler excavator, purchased from Scotia Plant Ltd, the Authorised Doosan and Bobcat Dealer for the central belt of Scotland.
The new Doosan DX300LC-3 crawler excavator has been put straight to work together with other Doosan excavators and associated equipment in the JCH Plant Hire fleet on a project being carried out by Falkirk-based Masterton Demolition to demolish the former buildings of the Auchmuty High School in Glenrothes.
Opened in 1957, Auchmuty High School was the first state secondary school in Glenrothes. The school quickly outgrew the original building and additions were added in about 1970. Now a new building has been constructed on the old school playing fields as part of Scotland’s school regeneration programme and was completed in the summer in plenty of time for the start of the new school year in September 2013. The demolition of the old buildings being carried out with equipment from JCH Plant Hire will pave the way for the creation of new playing fields for the pupils at the school.
With the new DX300LC-3 model on board, the JCH Plant Hire fleet now includes four demolition specification Doosan crawler excavators and a Doosan DL300 wheel loader for use on demolition projects throughout Scotland. The other Doosan excavators in the fleet include a 25 tonne DX255LC excavator and two 35 tonne DX340LC models, one a long arm version and the other a standard arm excavator. The equipment in the JCH Plant Hire fleet is available for rental by demolition contractors working across Scotland.
Company Owner, James Currie, commented: “We formed the business over 18 years ago and over that time we have built up substantial expertise and experience in supplying a full range of hire equipment for demolition contractors. I have been purchasing Doosan excavators for more than 10 years and have found them to be very robust for the demanding work on demolition sites, as well as offering lower running costs.”
