Lynch buys more Terex ADTs

Lynch Plant Hire has bought five additional Terex TA30 articulated dump trucks, taking its total of Terex ADTs to 30 units. The new investment comes as a result of increased construction projects in the London area, according to Merrill Lynch, operations director for Lynch Plant. "It's encouraging that heavy equipment is still in demand, despite all the negative forecasts we're hearing about the construction industry," said Lynch.

Lynch Plant Hire has bought five additional 1222 Terex TA30 articulated dump trucks, taking its total of Terex ADTs to 30 units.

The new investment comes as a result of increased construction projects in the London area, according to Merrill Lynch, operations director for Lynch Plant.

"It's encouraging that heavy equipment is still in demand, despite all the negative forecasts we're hearing about the construction industry," said Lynch. "The requests for articulated trucks just keep coming in: we've invested in five more to keep up with the amount of customer orders we are receiving." Lynch Plant, which now owns one of the largest Terex truck fleets in the UK, will soon install the 2921 CESAR ID technology on its fleet of 800 machines (including the new ADTs) in a move to combat plant and equipment theft for its customers.

    Improving aggregate production and quality levels is not just about investing in the latest equipment but making sure existing machines are optimised - Claire Symes reports. Although the cost of fuel has dropped since last summer's high, reducing the cost/tonne of production is still high on the agenda for most quarry operators, along with improving quality.

    Will increased ADT load capacity provide a suitable solution to increasing aggregate and earthmoving haulage needs? Mike Woof reports The rule of thumb with off-highway machinery is that for bulk operations, larger equipment can deliver economies of scale, with bigger payloads allowing a better cost/tonne. Heavier machines may be less versatile than more compact units, so a type of equipment that retains its versatility as it is scaled up in size can offer major benefits. For the articulated dumptruc

    Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr
