Thompson Plant Hire invest in a new Hyundai R480LC-9A from Taylor & Braithwaite – as seen at Hillhead Show.A Hyundai R480LC-9A, supplied by Cumbria-based Hyundai dealer, Taylor and Braithwaite, caught the eye of Thompson Plant Hire, based in Flimby, on the Cumbrian coast when MD, Kevin Thompson saw it in action on the quarry face at the recent Hillhead exhibition in Buxton, Derbyshire.

The 48 tonne excavator is bound for Tarmac High Craig Quarry, where it will be put to work loading Thompson Plant Hire’s new Sandvik QH331 Cone Crusher and QJ341 Jaw Crusher.

Why did Thompson’s choose Hyundai over its competitors? “Cost, reliability and Taylor & Braithwaite customer service.” Said Mr Thompson.

“We were really impressed seeing the Hyundai R480LC-9A in operation at Hillhead and it’s perfect to support our operation at High Craig Quarry. We have already purchased a number of Hyundai machines this year from Taylor and Braithwaite so we immediately went to them to supply us with this machine. Their After Sales support is excellent so we were happy to continue our relationship with T&B.” Concluded Mr Thompson.

Ian Burton,  Director, Taylor & Braithwaite said, “We are delighted here at Taylor and Braithwaite with the sale of the Hyundai R480LC-9A to Thompson Plant Hire, this is the 5th year of consecutive business together, which hopefully is a great reflection of our commitment and customer service at T&B. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Thompson team in the future.”
