Dealer Finning has secured a deal with Flannery to supply £65m of Cat machines to the hirer.

The deal will bring Flannery’s planned investment on plant across all manufacturers to £107m in 2025.

The latest investment includes 100 Cat excavators, 70 Cat Bulldozers, 86 Cat ADT Trucks and 20 Cat Rollers.

Patrick Flannery, Director at Flannery Plant Hire said: “As a result of the growth in the industry we are seeing increasing demands for efficient, sustainable and reliable plant machinery that can service the breadth of the industry.

“The Cat XE models in particular have shown us a significant return on investment, not only are they hard-working machines, but they are incredibly efficient, saving up to 35% on fuel compared to other models.

“We are committed to achieving our sustainability goals and having machines with lower fuel consumption helps us reduce our carbon footprint as well as save money in the long-term.

“We know from our relationship with Finning that Cat machines are more than capable of tackling the challenges of modern construction. We service the whole industry and need machines to be robust for work in a variety of heavy-duty applications.

“Our recent investment shows our commitment to servicing the industry with versatile and innovative plant hire options but also represents our assurance to customers that we will continue to provide efficient and sustainable machines to suit their needs.”

Flannery said that over the last four years the firm has invested £448m in its fleet.
