ECL Complete a 20 Kobelco Excavator deal

Bedfordshire-based ECL Civil Engineering Ltd. has completed a deal for 20 new Kobelco excavators. This latest deal builds upon over five years of successful collaboration between ECL and Molson Group, the UK distributor for Kobelco Construction Machinery. ECL has consistently chosen Kobelco excavators throughout this partnership for their advanced technology, exceptional fuel efficiency, and proven reliability.

ECL Managing Director Sean Hoare commented on the expansion: “Our ongoing investment in Kobelco excavators reflects our positive experience of running these machines, along with a very high standard standard specification on the Kobelco product aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals, our commitment to delivering high-quality services and our drive to invest in the best products for our teams on site.”

Molson Sales Director Stuart Butler added: “This deal reflects the strong relationship we have built over the last five years with Sean and his team. Over this time, we have built trust by delivering on our promises. Whether that is around the lived experience of the actual running costs of the machines or delivering a reliable and reactive after-sales support, through to understanding their business and having the flexibility to structure a deal that works for them.”

The new excavators added to the ECL fleet join a range of machines from the Japanese manufacturer’s portfolio. The new excavators are aimed at the core of the ECL fleet and comprise of SK85MSR-7, SK130LC-11 and SK210LC-11E models fitted with a selection of Geith and Strickland quick hitches. Supplied in the traditional blue Kobelco paint scheme, the machines will be working on sites for some of the UK’s largest developers, housebuilders and local authorities, who make up much of the repeat customer base.

Hoare commented, “We need to ensure we can deliver our clients an industry-leading service that can be relied on to produce not only a quality finish at the right price but also one that meets our and their demands for lowering environmental impact. The purchase of these new excavators is a step forward in offering both that reliability, quality, and fuel savings we demand.”
