Brian went on to say, “This is a smaller, less expensive machine but it packs a punch. At Molson we strive to ensure that we supply the best piece of kit for our customers’ requirements. We want to work with our customers to use their experience alongside our own expertise, weigh everything up and make sure they have their ideal machine. This EvoQuip Colt 800 is perfect for the Bullimores team. It will do everything they want of it, offers superb build quality and reliability, all backed by the excellent levels of service they can expect from the Molson Group.”
The tracked EvoQuip Colt 800 boasts a 1050mm wide feeder hopper with variable speed operation and a 2.9cu m standard capacity which extends to an optional 4.7cu m. It features a 2.77m x 1.22m double deck screen and a range of screen media. It has an operating weight of 16.7tonnes, a transport length of 9.2m and is capable of an average material throughput of 280tph. It features a compact and aggressive forward facing inclined screen and can work through a variety of materials including aggregates, sand and gravel, top-soil, construction, and demolition waste recycling in applications where space is at a premium.
Quarry Manger, James Bulimore, is delighted with the Colt 800. He said, “Its compact size means it is easy for us to transfer down to the bottom of the quarry whenever operational demands require. It hits all the production targets that we need of it, and I have been impressed with the quality of service from Molson. Having used Terex equipment in the past I was reassured of its quality and strength. It’s such a solid machine.”
With many manufacturers and dealers experiencing supply problems exacerbated by the pandemic and Brexit period, Molson took the opportunity to snap up as many production slots for machines as possible. As a result, it has excellent availability on all machines, despite its order books being at a record volume.
Brian said, “Customers such as Bullimores need to have confidence in the availability of pieces of plant and our ability to supply. Getting machines to them when they need them is key. Thanks to the steps taken to secure post-pandemic supply we have good availability on all the machines we offer. Customers can be assured that if they need a particular machine quickly, we can deliver.”
