South East based construction plant hire specialists, Standard Plant Hire, has taken delivery of its 700th Kubota machine, which is wrapped in a special livery to celebrate the milestone. Located in Bromley, Standard Plant Hire has been operating since 2009, providing construction equipment to commercial contractors, predominantly focusing on infrastructure and utilities projects within the M25 and the Home Counties.

Michael Fleming, Director of Standard Plant Hire, said: “We’re very proud of the success we’ve had as a business since 2009 and the relationship we have with Kubota and Lister Wilder has played a big part in that. Taking delivery of our 700th Kubota machine is testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Standard Plant Hire team, and the unique livery is a celebration of that. It’s not just for show though, we can’t wait to see our customers putting this one of a kind KX080-4a2 through its paces on site!”

Due to the varying needs of its wide customer base, Standard Plant Hire boasts Kubota’s full KX and U mini-excavator range, from one through to eight tonne machines. The KX and U excavator series from Kubota are some of the most reliable and durable machines on the market to date, utilising Kubota’s latest in-house engine technology designed to offer maximum fuel efficiency, minimal noise and vibration, as well as low emission levels to meet current regulations.

Michael continued: “Kubota machinery has been a mainstay of our business since we started as our customers know that with Kubota they are getting high performance machines that won’t let them down, which is vitally important when working on infrastructure and utilities projects. Backed up by the excellent aftersales support and care from Lister Wilder, it’s easy to see why our working relationship with Kubota is so strong.”
