Re: Hillhead 2012 - Mining Machinery News

A few from me. (I dident see any of the gang off here either) :o

Joe - Just think of the time and money to scrap all the stock of parts and re make them with CAT on them that were already in the system. I bet they still said O&K on when they became Terex.

Re: Carrying On - Older Trucks in Use

Well it would be quite an advert for the company and create a talking point. I'll bet they are not inclined to do long motorway trips. :) Probably leave them to Pickfords etc Lot better looking than 'Man in white Luton van' used for most local moves & look a lot clasier in the better parts of L...

Re: Carrying On - Older Trucks in Use

Re: A+B Plant Hire an Aveling-Barford Company

:oops: CAT didn't own Hewden Stuart, but their UK dealer Finning did. Finning sold Hewden Stuart to a venture capital company, but do maintain their own rental fleet of CAT equipment in the UK, though don't like to advertise that they do. Thanks IBH for that clarification :bow: (updated by earlier p...
