Carlisle-based Lloyd Ltd, the Authorised Bobcat Dealer for Northern England and Southern Scotland, has won an order for 50 Bobcat E17 mini-excavators for Svella Connect, also based in Carlisle, a provider of critical digital infrastructure, including fibre broadband networks.
As well as the 50 mini-excavators, Svella has also purchased a matching trailer for each machine from Lloyd Ltd.
These E17-trailer combinations are being used by Svella to assist them in providing a range of digital support services to local authorities and communications providers, including Virgin Media O2, Openreach and CityFibre, in order to create sustainable and responsible digital infrastructure networks.
The Bobcat E17s – fitted with either a canopy or a cab – will be used by the mobile teams at Svella to help dig trenches in which to lay the cables while the trailers offer the ideal transportation solution to get from site to site. With buckets, breakers and hitches also supplied with each machine, every operator is kitted out with what they need to get the job done efficiently and promptly.
As one of the largest Bobcat dealers in the UK, Lloyd Ltd is the ideal partner to help support Svella’s growing business, being able to provide not only the machines themselves but also expert servicing and parts back-up to keep everything performing at its best all year round.
