AJK Plant Hire from Northwich in Cheshire, North West England, has just purchased its 100th Hydrema 10tonne Dumptruck from Hydrema (UK).
AJK claim to be one of the first companies in the UK to own and operateThey bought their first machines from Hydrema, whose global HQ is in Denmark, back in the late 1980s, and have maintained a fleet of the 4x4 10tonne payload machines ever since.
"Our first 10tonne Hydrema trucks were ideal for our work on golf courses and nature reserves. The floatation tyres caused very little ground damage, which was essential when working in such sensitive environments,” said Ken Percival, managing director of AJK Plant Hire.
“As low ground pressure specialists, it is vital to us as a business to run the best LGP machines available. The Hydrema trucks have always offered the solution for us, and the fact that we are celebrating our 100th purchase of the 10tonne truck clearly demonstrates how popular they are with us and our customers.”
The 100th machine [pictured] is a 912D Multitip (swivel tip version). AJK also run a fleet of the larger 922D - 22t 6x6 version on the extra wide 800mm tyres along with LGP dozers and excavators.
AJK Plant Hire is a family run business founded by John Denis Percival in 1963.
John's son Kenneth took over the reins in 1977 and now runs the business with Debbie and Robert, his daughter and son, who are in charge of business development and machine service respectively.
