A tool hire specialist is growing its fleet of construction machinery with the purchase of 20 new Kubota excavators. Exsel Plant & Tool Hire, which operates across sites in Salisbury, Winchester, and Southampton, completed the new order with Kubota dealer Harper Plant Ltd. The recently purchased Kubotas grow Exsel’s construction machinery fleet to 52, with a further 15 set to be delivered across this year; all of which are manufactured by the orange brand.

The new machines, which include Kubota’s mini U17-3 and U10-5, will be put to use by Exsel’s diverse client base of construction professionals and home DIYers, on projects including major landscaping works and infrastructure upgrades.

Max Pearce, managing director for the Exsel group of companies, said: “Since the business was first founded in 2004, we have seen just how popular Kubotas are among operators. And for good reason.

As a brand, Kubota is synonymous with reliability, durability and ease-of-use, values which are highly prized by our customer base.

“Now operating a 52-strong fleet of Kubotas, with that number growing to 67 by the end of the year, we are better placed than ever to give our customers access to first-rate construction machinery.

The quality of the product, alongside added extras such as the innovative anti-theft systems in the machines, are really what sets Kubota apart.

It’s fantastic too to be working with Harper Plant Ltd, who we have enjoyed a close relationship with since the earliest days of our business.”
