Hayley Shevill, commercial director at Arvill Plant and Tool Hire, said: “We are confident that our acquisition of this machine will open up new markets for us. Already we have been approached by the MoD who want to create a car park at their Garelochead base in a challenging space.”

As part of its ongoing expansion strategy, Arvill has also added three ten-tonne cab dumpers and one six-tonne cab dumper to the fleet of dumpers, diggers, rollers, compaction equipment, telehandlers and self-propelled access platforms.
