Hill Engineering has been working closely with Corby based, Willowbrook Plant for the last four-years and Willowbrook has purchased over 250 Hill quick hitches during this period, which have been fitted to both Hyundai and Takeuchi machines. The company has also purchased a number of Hill’s excavator buckets.
Steve Corner, operations director Willowbrook Plant said, “Hill Engineering is one of our 1st tier suppliers, and unless the customer has specified something different, we automatically fit Hill couplers to their machines.”
Steve added, “We have a great working relationship with the guys at Hill, they always deliver on time and ultimately make our jobs easier. As a supplier of plant and machinery we cannot afford to associate ourselves with poor quality products. This is exactly why we are in partnership with Hill – the quality and reliability is second to none!”
About Hill Engineering:
Established in 1994, Multi-Award winning Hill Engineering is celebrating 22-years of designing and manufacturing pioneering excavator attachments. Based in Newry, Northern Ireland, the company’s quick couplers are designed for excavators ranging from 3 to 120 tonnes. Hill Engineering claim to be the market leaders in coupler technology in the UK with 50% market share domination.
The company is best known for its award winning fully automatic coupler TEFRA, which has transformed health and safety on construction sites around the world – and was significant in the company’s financial growth and increase in market share. TEFRA has proved itself to be the safest coupler on the market today – with only three moving parts – it has proven to reduce downtime extensively and make customers more productive in their operations.
The safety systems in the TEFRA eliminate one of the most dangerous aspects of handling attachments, which is the risk of attachments coming away completely. Hill Engineering solved this by using a positive locking system rather than a gravity locking system, making the crucial safety feature ‘active’ and not ‘passive’ in the way it works.
Completely manufactured in the UK, the TEFRA components are cast, which means its lower in weight and higher in strength.
Hill has seen significant international growth in the last few years and the TEFRA is now exported across three continents globally these include, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
