Bell Plant
Ltd, part of the Gloucestershire-based K W Bell Group, has taken delivery of 12
new 6 tonne Doosan mini-excavators, supplied by Kellands (Plant Sales) Ltd,
based in Bridgwater in Somerset, the Authorised Doosan Dealer for London and
the South of England including the Channel Islands.
These are
the latest Doosan machines to arrive at Bell Plant from Kellands in a close
relationship that began 20 years ago in 1999, when the first Solar 55
mini-excavator was purchased by Bell Plant.
Peter
Bell, a Director at K W Bell Group, commented: “Bell Plant generally changes
its machines every three to four years. The last 20 years have shown us that
there are two key reasons why the relationship with Kellands/Doosan has grown
from strength to strength over that time.
"The
first is the Doosan brand itself – the quality, the performance of the machines
and their residual value; the second is the continuously excellent service and
back-up provided by the team at Kellands.”
Part of
the current fleet renewal programme, the new Doosan order comprises seven
DX63-3 conventional tail swing and five DX62R-3 reduced tail swing
mini-excavators, in a deal worth around £0.5 million.
These are
the latest Stage V versions of both machines, powered by the same Yanmar
4TNV98C diesel engine, providing 44.3 kW (59.4 HP) of engine power at 2100 rpm,
a massive 22% increase over the previous generation models.
