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.
