Contractor CMK is using a new Bobcat T770 tracked loader to help build roads for the UK's Forestry Commission.

The T770 compact tracked loader was supplied by dealer AMS 1130 Bobcat and will be used on a new three-year Forestry Commission contract won by CMK. Under the new Sherwood & Lincs and North West England framework contract, CMK is responsible for the renewal and upkeep of roads in forests run by the Forestry Commission in Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria. The Forestry Commission was introduced to the benefits offered by the Bobcat compact tracked loader range through work done by CMK using a smaller Bobcat T180 model that the company previously owned, also supplied by AMS Bobcat.
