As well as running a hire fleet of more than 120 machines, Hodge also carries out general earthworks, contract earthmoving, contract crushing and screening, and also owns and operates Duneaton Quarry in South Lanarkshire.
The PR 734 LGP Litronic is a 22t class, 0.42kg/cm² low ground pressure (LGP) machine with fully hydrostatic drive and electronic drive control. Power is provided by a Liebherr six cylinder, turbo-charged D 936-L A6 Stage IIIA / Tier 3 reduced emissions diesel engine developing 150kW at 1800RPM. Hodge Plant has taken its two machines with the standard 4.10m³ capacity straight blades that are 1150mm high and 3995mm wide.
Hodge Plant managing director Alistair Hodge said: “We like the package Liebherr offers which includes a service scheme and undercarriage warranty. We never doubted the build quality and this, coupled with the back-up, means we can be confident in providing our customers with a reliable and productive hire machine.”
