Against the pulsating pressures of today’s industry, efficiency is more than just an objective, it’s a necessity. Faced with tight schedules, evolving project demands and the need to optimise resources, every moment counts, and we’re seeing that need being, now, more than ever, translated into the innovative strategies, technologies and streamlined pathways and support navigated by the sector’s representatives.
This edition’s cover story is testament to how ambition and hard work – combined with industrious thinking – can lead to exceptional results, as P Woods & Son’s Paddy Woods shares how Road Trucks Limited’s all-encompassing after-sales support has helped keep his machines on the road and efficient. Our two View from the Cabs – centred on the SANY STH742 at ReCon Resources and Dan Gilkes’ Hyundai HX19e experience – also tap into how machinery evolution is helping to streamline the operator’s work and ultimately power more comfortable, speedy progress.
With auctions also going from strength-to-strength as a go-to solution for professionals navigating busy schedules, our special feature is presenting the latest trends and options to help your operations thrive through equipment attainment.
As the countdown to PlantWorx 2025 ticks on – taking place from 23rd-to-25th September at Newark Showground – Plant & Civil Engineer previews the key industry event, as well as a number of the notable exhibitors which you won’t want to miss out on visiting during your attendance.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to check out the continuation of our building towards net zero feature which is packed with meaningful moves being made towards even greater sector sustainability, such as McHale Plant Sales’ commitment to the circular economy, and LiuGong’s efforts in building a strong and sustainable future.
Elsewhere, you can delve into the latest developments across the material handling landscape, including new additions to Bobcat’s range, and Combilift’s safe and spacesaving solutions, plus expert insights from columnists Karen McShane and Gordon Best – and much more!
