Bell ADT arrives at Hillhouse quarry

The Hillhouse Quarry Group, a whinstone quarry operation based in Ayrshire, has added a new Bell B45E Articulated Dump Truck to its fleet. The E-series ADT will be involved with stock handling and haul back up, taking strain away from the Group’s existing fleet of D-series Bell trucks used for the last 15 years.

The Bell B45E is powered by a 2,460 Nm inline six-cylinder engine from Mercedes-Benz, and features wet brakes, a spacious cab and ‘ease-of-operation’ features that use real-time data collection. As part of the deal, Bell Equipment UK has provided refresher training for Hillhouse’s drivers to ensure they get the most from their new B45E. Every year, the operation produces up to one million tonnes of quarry product including ready-mixed concrete, asphalt, concrete blocks and drystone.
