Littler Machinery celebrates 50th anniversary with specialist landfill fleet investment through Finning
In the year that Caterpillar turns 100, plant rental & sales specialist Littler Machinery Ltd is marking 50 years in business by adding four new landfill compactors to its fleet – celebrating both occasions with bespoke anniversary livery.
The in-house graphics team at Finning worked with the family firm to design and apply branding celebrating both the milestone investment and the long-standing working partnership between the organisations.
The addition of two Cat 836 and two Cat 826 machines to Littler Machinery’s portfolio will enable it to meet the compaction, earthmoving and material-handling requirements of clients in the waste and landfill sector, as it looks ahead to further growth over the next 50 years.
With a history of more than 50 new waste compactors and machines, all supplied by Finning UK & Ireland, the business has established itself as a responsive and flexible provider of specialist landfill equipment. The anniversary investment reflects rising demand for purpose-built waste management machines as landfill sites are ever evolving to improve sustainability and operational efficiency.
Richard Littler, Director at Littler Machinery Ltd, added:“Our decision to invest in Cat landfill machines is rooted in decades of operational excellence. Cat equipment has consistently delivered the durability and performance required in demanding waste applications. Marking our 50th anniversary with this investment reflects our ongoing commitment to the brand and to providing customers with proven, reliable machines.”
George Nevin, Operations Manager at Littler Machinery Ltd, said:“The industry is being transformed to make better use of sites in terms of efficiency and sustainability, and our recent machine acquisitions will allow us to further support our customers to meet their goals in these areas.
“Cat machines are reliable, durable and vitally ensure our customers can reduce their costs as they are incredibly fuel efficient. The fuel efficiency of the latest Cat landfill compactors – fitted with advanced technology features, such as Cat compaction systems to increase efficiencies while optimising productivity – also means they have lower emissions, which is becoming increasingly important.
“We know that Cat machines are efficient and durable, which is vital in landfill environments. For these reasons, along with the reliable and consistent support provided by Finning, we are thrilled to celebrate our 50th year in business by bolstering our specialist landfill fleet.”
Neil Baxter from Finning UK & Ireland said:“We have worked with Littler Machinery for many years. As one of the UK’s leading independent providers of landfill compactors, their continual investment demonstrates the demand for durable, reliable and efficient specialist machinery in this sector.
