Longstanding hire specialist, WHC Hire Services has further increased its offering by adding additional Kubota machines to its fleet due to customer demand, increasing its Kubota fleet to more than 200 machines.

WHC Hire Services is a well-established and trusted supplier of tool and plant equipment through the South West and West Midlands regions, with depots in Tewkesbury, Worcester and Chipping Norton.

The company has purchased the new machines from Kubota dealer Lister Wilder to boost the existing fleet, ensuring WHC continues to meet the diverse needs of its wide customer base.

These customers come from a variety of sectors and include highway agencies, construction and building companies as well as small or family businesses and DIY customers.

This latest purchase by WHC signifies the strength of the relationship between the companies which has grown over the years. The new machines, which consist of Kubota’s 6-tonne KX060-5 and 3-tonne KX027-4 excavators, have been purchased from Lister Wilder this year as a growth to the existing range of Kubota equipment WHC has to offer its customers.

Rob White, Construction Division Manager at Kubota, said: “It’s great to see WHC Hire Services continued trust in our excavators.

This long-standing partnership is a testament to our continued drive to develop machinery that not only is robust and reliable, but also helps move our customers’ business forward. We look forward to what the future holds as we work closely with WHC Hire Services.”

James Clutterbuck, Managing Director of WHC Hire Services, said: “Since the birth of WHC, we have always made it our priority to offer our clients the highest-performing equipment on the market.

To ensure so, I personally conducted a 210-point assessment on machines from a range of manufacturers focusing on the following key areas: serviceability, excavator structure and build quality, cab layout and environment, machine operation and safety systems.

“After a full assessment of Kubota’s range of excavators, I found them to be by far the stand-out machinery range across all aspects of our inspection.”
