Enormous potential - Moores of Froxton
Devon based Moores of Froxton, has maintained its tradition of innovation and pioneering of new markets, with the purchase of a Dig A Crusher 900 bucket from sole UK importer Worsley Plant. The 0.70 m3 bucket, utilises traditional jaw crusher principles, and offers a crusher throughput of up to 70 tonnes/hour. It is seen by the company as an ideal companion to the Moores’ plant hire fleet.
With Wesley and his brothers Brian and Raymond at the helm, Moores operates an equipment and haulage fleet that comprises a range of Hitachi hydraulic excavators and Scania low-loaders. The company’s eagerness to innovate and pioneer new markets also led it to purchase the new 3.5 tonne Dig A Crusher 900 bucket.
"We went to the SED exhibition in 2006 specifically to look for innovative, new additions for our equipment fleet and we were immediately taken with the Dig A Crusher bucket," Wesley continues. "Many West Country sites are small and simply cannot accommodate a stand-alone wheeled or track-mounted crusher. The Dig-A-Crusher seemed ideal for site clearance as it meant one machine with a collection of attachments could do the demolition and recycling, reducing the space requirements and optimising utilisation levels on our new Hitachi ZX225 USR LC excavator."
Wesley is clearly pleased with the performance and customer acceptance of the new addition to his company’s equipment fleet. “The Dig A Crusher allows both ourselves and our customers to tackle all their demolition and recycling processes with a single carrier machine together with some specialist attachments. As well as using less space, this solution reduces vehicle movements as material doesn’t have to leave the site to be processed," he concludes. “The Dig A Crusher bucket has also proved to be highly versatile. So far we have used it to crush reinforced concrete, demolition and road building waste, kerb stones, and sleepers; all without any problems. We are now hoping that word of the new crusher will get about and that our customers will realise the enormous potential of the machine."
