New start-up HJD Plant Solutions Ltd has purchased 17 Kubota machines from construction machinery specialist Shellplant to ensure it is ready to meet the demand coming from its client base across the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire areas. The substantial investment from HJD sees five different specifications of excavators with various tonnage capabilities lead its newly- established portfolio, with the choice to utilise Kubota coming after Managing Director, Harry Denton, used the brand in his previous role as a contractor, and was impressed with the reliability the machines delivered. Harry has set-up HJD with his fleet of Kubota machines, including four U17-3 mini diggers, four U27-4 diggers, four KX080-4 excavators, two K008-5 mini excavators, two U50-5 excavators and a KC7O VHD-4 dumper. This varied portfolio allows HJD to assist his diverse client base, which is predominantly made up of mid-sized civil engineer, highway and public utility companies who use up to and around the 8-tonne range of excavation equipment. HJD started after Harry swapped contracting for starting a company of his own, spotting an opportunity in the marketplace to provide quality service and equipment. “Across the three-or-so counties HJD service, there is an increase in demand for plant hire equipment due to ongoing-lengthy projects such as HS2, so it’s a great time to get started and plug that gap,” said Harry.
