The high-reach equipment includes two 70t Zaxis 670s and a custom-made zero tail swing Zaxis 225.In addition to these, Lee Group has purchased numerous conventional demolition excavators from 13t to 55t. It has also bought various shears, pulverisers, selector grapples and breaker attachments to work with the new excavators.
The company’s recycling capabilities have been expanded with the addition of two new mobile tracked crushers from Sandvik.
Managing director David Lee said: “It is essential that we own, maintain and operate a modern, capable fleet of demolition and recycling equipment. When undertaking large scale, high profile projects, it is important to fulfil our clients’ requirements safely and expeditiously without relying on third party equipment hirers. Lee Group’s ongoing investment in new plant allows us to deliver this time and time again”.
While most of the new equipment will be on demolition and recycling duties, the company has also purchased 35 Hitachi mini excavators to expand its plant hire business. The new ZX17U and ZX30s have already been put to work operating with a number of major utility and infrastructure providers.
“Just like the bulk-haulage sector of our business, our plant hire division has expanded well since the Lee Group’s inception in 2002. The latest fleet of mini and midi sized excavators will allow us to offer smaller equipment with the same assurance of reliability and quality,” Mr Lee said.
