A new Cat joins the Williams pride

We were recently commissioned to conduct a photoshoot featuring Dorset based Williams Plant’s latest addition to the fleet, a Caterpillar 308E2 CR, we visited the machine on site in Hampshire.

Talking about the company’s latest acquisition Rob Williams said, “We decided to purchase this machine after securing quite a long run of work on a site in Basingstoke where the machine will be on hire to a groundwork company”.

“The machine is a late 2013 model bought with 800 hrs on the clock. The deal was done by Finnings Regional Salesman Pete Atkinson who we also bought or 13 tonne class 312D from. To be perfectly honest it was hard to refuse the fantastic deal Pete came up with, he managed to get it on Finnings special offer of 0% finance with 1 years warranty which gave us peace of mind and confidence in our purchase”.

Rob continued, “We've had a few teething troubles, but in all fairness, Finning have been excellent in getting them sorted. Now it seems spot on, Dan the operator loves it!”

“Originally we were going to replace our Fiat Kobelco E80 with the Cat, but due to our current work load we have decided to keep it. We might possibly replace it with a 5 tonne machine in the future and based on the service we've received from Finning I'm pretty confident it will be another Caterpillar machine”.
