Now in its 40th year of business, longstanding South Yorkshire based aggregate quarry, CATPLANT, has started the celebrations early with an investment in a Cat\u00ae D9T Dozer from exclusive Caterpillar\u00ae dealer, Finning UK and Ireland. The machine is customised with photos of old machines and other happy memories as a thank you for its staff\u2019s hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The family-run quarry has been working with Finning since day one and now has more than 30 Cat machines in its fleet; from compactors and 90-tonne excavators through to several mini-diggers. When the chance to purchase the D9T, a rental model that was rebuilt through the Response, Repair and Rebuild department at Finning came up, Ronnie Harrod, managing director of CATPLANT, jumped at the opportunity.<\/p>\n

The Cat D9T, which is custom wrapped with a collage of pictures, has a reputation for outstanding productivity, operator comfort and reliability. It is a highly versatile machine with a legacy of superior performance, ease-of-operation and long life. The D9T is built to be rebuilt, making it not unusual for them to log more than 100,000 hours.<\/p>\n

Alongside the D9T, CATPLANT has also invested in the brand new D6 XE Dozer, the world\u2019s first high-drive electric-drive dozer to put to work creating new batters for the landfill in the quarry. The D6 XE boasts up to 35 per cent better fuel efficiency than previous models, with class-leading maneuverability and power, increasing agility and enabling faster cycle times.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be the second time that we\u2019ve had a machine customised, with our first being done to mark the passing of the founder of CATPLANT,\u201d said Ronnie. \u201cCommemorative machines are special to us, and we\u2019re always keen to use high-performance technology, so the new customised D9T is an excellent way to thank our team, who have gone above and beyond this year to adapt and get the work done in the middle of a global pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth the D9T and the D6 XE will be great additions to the fleet due to their long-term value and durability, and we look forward to seeing how these machines fit in and strengthen the backbone of our already successful operations,\u201d added Ronnie.<\/p>\n
