NEW Hyundai HL960A loading shovel for Laverstoke Park Farm

Following an open day held by Molson Green, part of the Molson Group, a pair of Hyundai loading shovels has entered the Laverstoke Park Farm fleet. Michael Kolinek the farm’s Managing Director said; “We looked at the loading shovel Molson brought to the open day and had the chance to use it for a week or so against the Volvos we had.” Michael explains, “We were very pleased that in the short time we could evaluate it, it outperformed our existing kit and used less fuel too. As we are constantly looking to reduce our operating costs, this was an eye-opener for us and as we were looking to start replacing our fleet, we started talking to Molson about taking the HL970 as a permanent fixture into the fleet.” The three loaders are all required to undertake the same work around the yard whether that is feeding the screening plants, moving the raw material to the windrows, or turning the windrows on a daily basis and are equipped with bespoke Ulrich toe-tip buckets to undertake this work.
