Hewitson buys big Hewitson Plant Hire has expanded its excavator fleet with the purchase of 50 new Kubota
machines. Supplying equipment throughout the North East and Yorkshire, Hewitson purchased the new machinery from P V Dobson & Sons, with the order comprising the Japanese manufacturer’s micro-excavators, the new U50-5 five-tonne mini, and other equipment up to eight tonnes. Owen Hewitson, director at Hewitson, said: “When operating in the midst of a pandemic,
it’s vitally important that we provide operators with machinery that simply gets the job done in the toughest conditions, so it was a simple decision to continue to invest in Kubota excavators. “The recent business growth is testament to the reputation we have built over the past 25
years on providing market leading machinery to meet customer demand. A vital part of this is the relationship we have with P V Dobson and Kubota and the service and aftersales support they provide.”

moment, having recently opened a new depot in Belfast and revealing plans for a new site in Dublin. Meanwhile, the equipment is part of an ongoing fleet investment and will be available from the Belfast and Dublin depots, and its HQ in Cookstown, County Tyrone. Highlights of the range include mini
spider and pick and carry cranes, both ideal for applications where space is an issue. Dual power options ensure that work can be carried out indoors without any concern for toxic emissions. Other products include glazing robots, glass vacuum and cladding lifters, mini floor cranes, mobile gantries, modular spreader beams, glass trollies, material lifts and portable conveyors. KDM is also launching a contract lifting
service, whereby all aspects of the lift program are undertaken by KDM and planned in advance by qualified personnel.
