First in the UK

01 April, 2003

"SURREY-based Wooldridge Eco Tec, the landfill, restoration and earthworks division of the Wooldridge Group, are the first company in the UK to take delivery of one of the new Caterpillar D6R LGP Series-II dozers. The company is currently using the machine to restore the Smithbrook Kilns landfill site in Cranleigh, Surrey."

"The machine is equipped with a C9 engine which fully complies with EPA emissions legislation and provides better fuel efficiency and reduced noise, while an improved cab layout provides operators with increased comfort in arduous conditions."

"Eco Tec, who have a company policy to change all plant after three years, say their decision to reinvest in Caterpillar plant was strongly influenced by their previous D6 dozer, which had zero downtime during its three-year stint."
