Sounds like a success story – starting a plant hire business with one used Kubota mini-excavator in 2018 and, four years later having a fleet made up of 60 machines. That’s what Weaver Plant Hire has achieved and is continuing to go from strength-to-strength in the plant hire market thanks to its investment in the latest machinery and technology solutions, ensuring the high demands of the construction industry can be met. Starting with the purchase of a second-hand Kubota mini-excavator, the Buckinghamshire-based company has now expanded its machinery fleet to 60 machines thanks to the recent purchase of eight Kubota excavators from Boss Plant Sales, meaning the Japanese manufacturer now makes up more than 30 percent of the hire firm’s excavator inventory.
The Weaver Plant Hire Fleet
The Weaver Plant Hire Kubota excavator fleet now consists of the U50, KX057, KX60 and KX080 machines. The KX and zero-tail swing U excavator series from Kubota are the most reliable and durable machines on the market. The excavator’s utilise Kubota’s latest industry-leading engine technology, designed to offer maximum fuel efficiency, minimal noise and vibration, as well as low emission levels that meet current regulations.
Adam Weaver, co-owner of Weaver Plant Hire, said: “The demand for construction equipment that can meet the requirements of the toughest jobs continues to be in high demand, so it’s imperative that we utilise equipment that offers contractors reliability and the highest levels of performance. We have worked tirelessly over the past four years to build a reputation of providing quality and efficient machinery, and the relationship we have with Boss Plant Sales and Kubota, and the service and aftersales support they provide, has been pivotal to that.
“Regarding Kubota machinery, the mini-excavators site acceptance is second to none. Operators like the ergonomic cabs, the familiar controls, and the luxuries of the high spec machines we choose. The dash-5 cabs in particular are excellent. We get great support and service from Boss Plant Sales and have found the Kubota machines to be safe, secure, reliable, and economic in operation.”
Established in 2018 by Adam Weaver, Weaver Plant Hire provides operated and self-drive plant hire, and groundworks and landscaping contracting to a wide range of customers in London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and Buckinghamshire. Adam was quick to adopt the use of specialised attachments and GPS systems across his machinery fleet to ensure high productivity, safety, and a high-quality finish to all jobs.
