Big Investment in Attachments by Buckingham Group

Warrington based attachment specialist ECY Haulmark Ltd have recently fulfilled an order to supply Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd with a large selection of hydraulic attachments and fully automatic quick couplers to suit a variety of their new and existing fleet of excavators.

Big Investment in Attachments by Buckingham Group

ECY Haulmark Sales Manager Steve Parker worked alongside Buckingham Groups John Sinclair to put together a package to equip them ahead of future upcoming contracts and maintain their equipment renewal policies and standards.

One project where award winning Buckingham Group are currently utilising many of the new attachments is a redundant paint manufacturing facility in Slough, Berkshire where they will oversee both the demolition and remediation works on the twenty two acre site. Currently ten weeks into the twenty-six week contract to demolish the existing mix of industrial concrete buildings, steel pipework structures, chemical holders and fuel tanks, Buckingham Group are utilising a wide variety of various sized excavators and hydraulic attachments to carry out the demolition and processing of the many types of material which are present on this site.

Working onsite is Buckingham Groups Volvo EC380EHR, which is fitted with a LaBounty MSD1500R scrap shear from ECY Haulmark and being utilised to cut up the robust chemical holders and fuel tanks and many other steel structures across the site. The Volvo EC380 and shear operated by Buckingham Group machine driver Steve Noble reports the robust LaBounty shear has been a welcome addition on the site, cutting and processing the industrial metal structures with ease. Also on the former manufacturing site, Buckingham Groups compact Volvo EC145EL boasts great versatility having been equipped with an OilQuick OQ60-5 fully automatic quick coupler system, which enables greater utilisation of work tools, along with a quick and safe changeover of attachments. Onsite and ready for use with this machine is a VTN CI700 scrap shear, a VTN MD120 demolition & sorting grab and an FRD Furukawa FXJ125 concrete breaker, as well as various buckets.

Also within the deal, Buckingham Group invested in several new VTN CK series of multi-tool processors with quick jaw change capability. With concrete cracker, steel and pulveriser jaws available for their CK21 model, they have opted for pulveriser jaws for the CK28 and CK36 models. The Jaws, all designed to be changed in a matter of minutes, make the VTN CK a truly versatile attachment for onsite processing of a wide variety of materials.
