# Dumper Deal of Intent from Touchstone

    Louise Carney  ·   1 minute read

Touchstone Civil Engineering, the Midlands based residential groundworker and civil engineering contractor has placed a fleet deal for 8 x 6-tonne ROPS+ and 2 x 9-tonne cabbed Thwaites dumper, which come inclusive of air con, beacons, screen guard, front and rear cameras, UK road lights and tow bar as standard.

The deal delivers a statement of intent from Touchstone and gives further rise to their growing confidence in the market.

The company founded just 12 months ago, has enjoyed rapid expansion, whilst earning a growing reputation for its innovative technological approach to reducing risk, whilst delivering the highest levels of environmental and sustainable standards.

The order itself being a typification of the company’s vision and values as it delivers the very latest, next generation, safety solution and innovation…The Thwaites 6-Tonne ROPS+, in addition to 9-tonne cabbed machines.

ROPS+ is an extension of the existing Roll Over Protection System, (ROPS) The wrap around design places the operator in the best possible position to minimise risk, should a machine roll over occur.

The overhead latch bar is pulled over and locked into position in front of the operator. The seat must be sat on and the seat belt must be worn, with both having safety sensors that prevent any workarounds.

*The machine will start, but not drive, until the ‘Triple Lock’ below is employed.*

1) Operator sat on seat.

2) Operators seat belt fastened across the waist.

3) Operator deploys the overhead bar.

Touchstone Civil Engineering Head of Procurement Stuart Tirebuck said… “A big thank you to BTE Plant Sales for their excellent support throughout our recent investment in Thwaites Dumpers.

“The process was seamless, thanks to BTE’s knowledgeable team and professional approach. Thwaites remain the market leader, and we’re proud to be expanding our fleet with high-quality equipment that meets all industry standards. We look forward to working with both Thwaites and BTE again in the future as we continue to invest in and expand our fleet”.

BTE Managing Director Rebecca Bryson said “I would like to thank Stuart and Tobi at Touchstone for their business and confidence in BTE with their first-ever dumper deal. It is always a pleasure to work with such an exciting new and fast-growing business. We look forward to working alongside you and supporting your continuing growth. Many thanks again for your order which is very much appreciated”.

With a growing housing, groundworks and infrastructure project portfolio, these new dumpers, along with a fleet of recently acquired Hitachi ZX-130 (13-tonne) and ZX-210 (21-tonne) excavators will go straight to work on Touchstone contracts across the midlands.
