To meet an increasing demand for their services, H Ripley & Co have recently added a new Atlas 350MH to their fleet, supplied by Contract Plant Rental on long term contract hire. Contract Plant Rentals Stu Lambert explains, “I have been working as a supply partner to Jason and Simon for some time now, they find a benefit to using CPR as we are not tied to a single manufacturer and have the ability to source any OEM. I initially supplied them a Kramer having discussed their requirements; we arranged a demo with the right spec machine and thus our joint operation began.” Stu added, “A few months on, Ripleys were looking to replace an aging Sennebogen machine. We looked at a few manufacturers and presented them with the best all round package for servicing, reliability, availability, and machine spec. I presented them with the Atlas 350MH complete with 18m boom and it was received with delight by the operators and both Jason and Simon.”
