Lynch invests in 34 new Caterpillar® machines

We have added 34 new Caterpillar® machines to our modern and reliable fleet, an investment of £2.6m. Finning UK & Ireland, exclusive distributor of Cat® products, delivered a selection of machines to our headquarters in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, where they are already on hire. These new additions enhance our offerings to our customers.

“Choosing Caterpillar machines is a common-sense commercial move for us” commented Chris Gill, Director at Lynch. “We have a long, established and amicable working relationship with Finning, and Caterpillar machines are especially durable and reliable so we can offer our customers the best quality and value for money. The exceptional build quality and ruggedness of the machines means they keep their residual value, which is good for the customer, but also a sound investment for us.”

“The investment comes off a great start for Lynch on HS2, and some of these machines are being placed straight onto the project. This investment in CAT machinery is in preparation for further HS2 works with our customers firmly in mind.”

Our arrivals include five new dozers including the Cat D6XE electric dozer, the world’s first electric drive dozer which offers unparalleled levels of torque and traction control, along with one of the latest next generation Cat D5 dozer’s, introduced to the UK earlier this year. Ten additional 308 excavators completed the excavator delivery.

The new machines also include two Cat 730 articulated dump trucks, specially designed for work on tight roads or quarry switchbacks, and two Cat CS66B rollers with their innovative vibratory soil compacting mechanisms.

Three Cat 432 backhoes, which offer ultimate versatility in a multitude of applications in one convenient package, also joined our fleet, along with five Cat 313 FL HSR excavators, ideal for excavating projects large and small.
