Lafarge choose Komatsu

Lafarge Aggregates have recently purchased three Komatsu machines — one excavator and two wheel loaders.

A Komatsu PC600-7 excavator has been delivered to Lafarge Aggregates’ Hafod Quarry near Newport. Lafarge representatives visited a number of sites to see machines from various manufacturers in operation. They were impressed by the Komatsu excavator as the reach and bucket size provides a capacity and strength that ensures a large digging force on uneven sites. Furthermore, the driver favoured the Komatsu excavator as its power delivery of 287kW at 1,800 rev/min, coupled with the ergonomically designed cab interior, would provide both the power and comfort required to achieve maximum productivity.

One of the wheel loaders, a WA470-5, is currently operating at Lafarge Aggregates’ wharf in Thurrock, Essex, where it is being used to load lorries. The other, a WA380-5, is being used to collect sand and gravel at the company’s site in Marfield.
