Wagner Plant expands again with more Cat kit

Having recently secured the services of one of the South West’s top young operators, Ryan Stallard, Tony Wagner decided to purchase more machines, and to reward his new operator with a brand new piece of kit. The new 13 tonne class machines have been supplied by local South West Compact Cat dealership WH Bond, with whom Mr Wagner has a good relationship with. One of these machines was delivered to a Roadform Civil Engineering site in Okehampton last week, where it replaced a JCB JS130LC that Ryan had been operating for Wagner Plant. Talking about his brand new Cat mount and indeed his first Caterpillar machine, having previously worked on a firm that was dominated by Case machines, Ryan said “This is my first encounter with Caterpillar machines, and I must say I am very impressed! In particular I like the very spacious cab which has some amazing driver comforts. It is also a very quiet machine, both in and out of the cab. At the controls it's very smooth and really is a pleasure to operate, to say I’m chuffed would be an understatement!” The machine is currently working in amongst a dominant JCB fleet and is certainly raising a few eyebrows on site. I suspect this will not be the last Cat addition to the Wagner Plant fleet. We thank Ryan Stallard for sending in these mobile phone shots of his latest mount.
