Flannery Plant Hire<\/a> has signed an exclusive deal with Finning UK & Ireland at this year’s Plantworx exhibition to purchase 230 new Cat machines as part of its fleet refurbishment programme<\/h2>\n

Signed by Patrick Flannery Senior, the deal is the biggest single order for Finning in 2019 and will bring the average age of the Flannery fleet to an impressive 1.8 years.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s investment totals over \u00a330m and sees Flannery take delivery of the UK\u2019s first Cat D6XE next-generation dozer; Caterpillar\u2019s new high-drive, electric drive transmission machine. The deal includes units from the Next Gen Hex range of excavators, including Cat 308 minis, Cat 315 and Cat 325 excavators with zero tail swing.<\/p>\n

Patrick Flannery Senior\u00a0said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been using\u00a0Caterpillar\u00a0technology since I established the business in 1972, partnering with\u00a0Finning\u00a0to ensure we maintain a young and modern fleet of machines.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as the fuel efficiency, reliability and lower cost of maintenance that is inherent to models in the\u00a0Caterpillar\u00a0portfolio, we are finding that our customers are looking for new and improved ways to monitor and report on productivity on site. The connected technology features that\u00a0Finning\u00a0has been able to offer as part of this deal, including the latest CPM system, will be a key part of our product offer moving forwards, helping our customers to retain a competitive edge on site.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, our primary focus is always safety and as we would expect, these new\u00a0Cat\u00a0machines deliver many innovative safety features. We also ensure that, where relevant, 360-vision cameras, load control systems and automatic quick couplers are factory fitted as part of our market-leading\u00a0plant\u00a0specification. In such a competitive market, it is important for us to demonstrate our continued investment; not just in the latest technology<\/a> but also in driving the safest site environment possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
