Kubota Construction has secured a significant order with leading plant, tool and equipment hire specialist, Balloo Hire.
Balloo Hire, which is based in Northern Ireland, has placed an order for 21 of Kubota’s market leading and high performance mini-excavators. The deal encompasses a mixture of units, including Kubota’s K008-3, KX016-4, KX71-3 and U48-4 series.
Balloo Hire needed to boost its fleet due to an increase in demand for mini-excavators. Customers using these machines span a wide range of sectors including civil engineering, film and TV production, utilities and facilities management . In spite of the recession, Balloo Hire has been successful in growing its business by offering high quality machinery, supported by excellent customer service.
Paul Lavery, managing director at Balloo Hire, explains more. “Through a strong product offering and a commitment to the highest levels of service, we’ve been able to tap into a number of growth markets.”
The decision to choose Kubota’s mini-excavators was based on a number of factors. Paul continues: “We offer a range of Kubota machines in our fleet, and have received excellent feedback about them. Build quality, reliability, an excellent warranty package, competitive pricing and a leading brand name that can be trusted were all important components in the decision making process.”
The Kubota mini-excavators were purchased by Balloo Hire from Kubota dealer F Rogan Ltd. F Rogan is one of only two Kubota dealers in Northern Ireland, and having won a number of orders in 2011 from Balloo Hire, F Rogan was keen to secure this most recent order. Brian Rea from F Rogan Ltd commented: “We have been working with Balloo Hire for many years now, and we know they – and their customers – are extremely satisfied with the Kubota equipment.
“As well as the reliability of Kubota mini-excavators, the anti-theft device that is fitted to all machines as standard increases security, which in turn ensures peace of mind for hire companies that have invested in the equipment.”
By ordering through F Rogan Ltd, Balloo Hire is also able to benefit from the onsite servicing that the dealer provides. This ensures machines are not taken out of commission for a lengthy period while they are shipped and serviced.
Kubota’s market-leading range of mini-excavators has been designed to offer maximum performance, combined with ease of use, comfort and safety. Investment in new technology ensure the machines can operate at a highly efficient rate without affecting reliability, while maintenance and service programmes are made simple through the easy to access components.
