BOA Plant Hire has been investing to update its fleet of equipment, purchasing more than 25 Kubota compact excavators in the last six months.

The company operates over 100 machines, 80 of which are Kubotas, with the micro K008-5 to the 8.5-tonne KX085-5 represented in the fleet.

BOA Plant Hire also has site dumpers, telehandlers and rollers, with excavators up to 14-tonnes topping the line-up. The business also provides powered access hire and a range of self-contained welfare units and is capable of providing a contract lifting mobile crane service.

Working within a 50-mile radius of its Bedfordshire HQ, the plant hire business provides equipment on a self-drive basis to a wide range of customers - from larger civil engineering companies to smaller builders.

Around 85% of the BOA fleet has been provided by Kubota dealer Shellplant, and the firm handles all warranty work when required.

“It’s much easier having a single source of supply for the fleet, for security of parts and service,” said Plant Manager Darren Millard. “I’ve known Tom Haywood at Shellplant for 25 years and they have always been good for the supply of machines.

“Plus, we never have any complaints from customers with a Kubota. From the micro through to the 8-tonne machine, they may not always be the very best individual model in every sector, but Kubota are certainly the best overall,” he added.
