Joining a comprehensive range of equipment including telehandlers, site dumpers, backhoe-loaders, cherry pickers and site dumpers which are deployed on either operated or non- operated hire, the new ECR25Ds and ECR50Ds have been supplied with a full range of buckets and quick-fits by Contractors Equipment Sales Ltd (CES).
The zero or short radius swing excavator design provides exceptional stability and is ideal for working in confined spaces. Simultaneous control of slew and offset movements provides faster, more precise performance and all hydraulic functions are performed in total independence for more control and less delay when handling multiple tasks. An additional bonus is the ability to operate the wide range of hydraulic attachments using proportional control if required.
Automatic, two-speed travel engages when operating in high- speed mode, automatically shifting gear from high to low according to the travel load. Another feature for increased efficiency is the standard auto-idling system that lowers engine speed to idle if a control remains dormant for five seconds. The engine reverts to the pre-selected speed almost instantly when any control is moved. This system delivers lower fuel consumption, longer engine life and less environmental noise.
Established in 1987 by Managing Director, Peter Wordingham,
Wordingham Plant Hire is very much a family-run business employing twenty-five people comprising machine operators, two mobile engineers and delivery drivers besides the members of the family. The company came about at that time simply because Peter, who had been a pig farmer up until then, wanted to hire a digger to repair a water pipe on his farm. “I couldn’t hire one for love nor money, so decided to take matters into my own hands and bought a second-hand digger for myself. After that, the machine (and me) were in constant demand in the locality, so we gave up pig farming and haven’t looked back since!” says Peter. Today the company has a well-established portfolio of regular clients in the north Norfolk vicinity including bespoke house builders, Norfolk County Council and national aggregates suppliers operating in the locality. ■
