Mulholland Contracts buys first Komatsu dozer

Mulholland Contracts Ltd is a second-generation family run business founded by Trevor Mulholland in 1974. In the 46 years that they’ve been operating, the company has established itself as one of Scotland’s largest privately owned construction companies, with a team of over 400 people and 60 excavators. At the end of 2019, the company made the decision to purchase its first bulldozer. It had previously been using a hired bulldozer, but with the demand for this machine type growing it was clear that it would be more cost effective for Mulholland to purchase its own.  

Following a successful meeting with Marubeni-Komatsu’s sales team, Mulholland Contracts Ltd took delivery of their first dozer, a Komatsu D61PXi-24, in December 2019. The machine has already been put to good use at a new housing estate in Midlothian where it has been creating landscape bunds and it will soon be moved to a large housing estate project in Edinburgh where it will be spending the next few years.
