“We’ve chosen Cat Dozers since 1978 when my late father founded the company - and we still love them today,” said Peter Gravelle, Director of Gravelle Plant Hire, the company that took the first D5 delivery in Wales. We’ve fallen in love with the D5, it has supported us through extremely busy periods of agriculture work.” “The value add from Caterpillar and Finning including the five year, 5000-hour warranty, VisionLink connectivity and a Customer Value Agreement that included five services, sealed the deal. “The technology blew competitor models out of the water,” said Keith Locke, Director at Locke Brothers. After hiring the machine for a week from Gravelle Plant Hire, who were the first company to purchase the D5 in Wales, Locke Brothers took the plunge and purchased a machine for itself.
Having purchased its first D4 from Finning in 2004, the D5 marked its first investment in a brand new Dozer. One happy customer is Locke Brothers, which bought a new D5 after being impressed with the technology offered as standard and has successfully put it to work. Improvements to the steering, transmission and balance make it easier than ever for operators to perform high quality work more quickly. With harness added weight and horsepower of 170, it is equipped to take on a wide range of dozing and grading tasks.
The new machine offers superior performance, backed by a broad choice of technology features, so operators can really get the most from their bulldozer.
It’s been just over a year since Caterpillar launched the all new D5 Dozer, the successor to the popular Cat D6N, and the benefits are already clear to businesses across the UK. Plant hire and construction firms including Gravelle Plant Hire, Locke Brothers, Hywel Llewellyn Plant Hire and Alun Griffiths (part of the CRH Group) took deliveries from Finning UK & Ireland and quickly put their new machines to work. The rollout of the Next Generation Cat® D5 Dozer has well and truly begun, with customers in Wales setting the pace. The new Cat D5 Dozer sets the pace in Wales
