Ambitious British company Bateman Groundworks has taken delivery of 20 Terex TA6 Power Tip site dumpers.

The new 6tonne payload machines were supplied by local dealer Contactors Equipment Sales (CES) in Norwich, and incorporate the latest product updates, said by 771 Terex Construction to deliver excellent productivity and low operating costs.

As part of a move to both expand and improve the productivity of its site dumper fleet, Bateman Groundworks is replacing 15 older Terex models. The Great Yarmouth, eastern England-based firm employs 120 people and specialises in groundworks for large national house builders.

“We usually work on about 10 sites at a time and have had a good 2012 including signing some key contacts which will keep us busy through to 2014,” says Bateman’s founder and managing director Richard Bateman. “Having signed the new contracts, we needed to renew and enlarge the site dumper fleet. So we looked at what was available on the market and it came down to the two biggest players who had very competitive prices and specifications.”

Bateman said the dumper choice was made much easier because, over the last six years, his firm had enjoyed “excellent” service from its existing Terex equipment, and struck up a good working relationship with CES.

Batemen’s new Terex TA6 site dumpers have a more powerful and fuel-efficient 62.5kW Stage 3A 299 Perkins engine, said to lead to lower fuel bills and reduced exhaust emissions. The new engine powers the permanent four-wheel drive system through a four forward/four reverse Powershuttle transmission to provide a claimed impressive 1 in 4 gradeability and a maximum speed of 27km/h.
