Bulk Handling
‘Like the batching plants, the mixer trucks are also superb,’ said Nicholls, who has been especially impressed with the optional Litronic-EMC drum controller which controls the diesel engine speed when loading and unloading. The constant speed drive prevents unnecessary drum rotations during the journey, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and wear.
‘The built in ‘return to site’ drum wash is an excellent feature and has significantly reduced cleaning times once the trucks have returned to the yard,’ he adds.
‘We chose to go into ready mix as it fits in with our aggregates, muckaway, recycling, plant hire and demolition businesses. We chose Liebherr after asking people who really know the business and its sales team were super knowledgeable and professional. They helped us plan the plant to fit our first site and it was done in a very professional and safe manner.’
‘We work very well with the Liebherr team and I see this as a very long-term relationship. Our
second Mobilmix 2.5 plant will
be installed this year will give
us three locations, all with Liebherr plants. Our intention is to add to these moving forward.’
