The Versatile Colt 1000 Screen Makes An Impact

by Sawon Banerjee | Jan 3, 2021 | Construction Equipments

P&L Barton Ltd started in 1972 when Peter Barton invested in his first digger, a JCB 3C, and set up P Barton Plant Hire. Today almost 50 years later, P&L Barton Ltd remains a family-run business, ensuring existing and new customers continue to receive a consistently high quality of service.

Based in Carnforth, Lancashire, the company has evolved and expanded, working on various projects with clients in private households and businesses, to local councils and large multi-nationals. P&L Barton provides plant and services on a sub-contractor hire only basis, offering a wide range of services to the construction, groundwork, civil engineering, quarrying, recycling, and haulage industries.

P&L Barton operates a diverse selection of modern well-maintained equipment to ensure clients are supplied with reliable and efficient hire solutions. In recent years, EvoQuip has become part of the fleet. They took receipt of their first EvoQuip Colt 1000 in June. Since then, the machine has been on hire contacts in multiple configurations to suit the required job sites.

One recent application has been to produce limestone walling stone for one of their regular clients where space was limited. P&L Barton set about reconfiguring the Colt 1000 so that both conveyors discharged out the same side into segregated areas, maximizing the area available, eliminating double handling, and showing how versatile the Colt is.

Commenting on Colt’s performance, Richard Barton, Plant Manager at P&L Barton said, “The Colt 1000 is the perfect machine for us due to its flexibility. Being suited to scalping and fine screening and the ability to convert from 3 way to 2 way split quickly and to swap conveyor configurations means it’s suitable for many applications and job sites.”

In the short time that P&L Barton have owned the Colt 1000, the machine has been out working on various projects, “We have been able to run the machine in 2 way split on one project then convert it so that mids and fines are discharged on the same side on a compact site, and in the standard set up on another site. With the range of media options available, I don’t think there is any job she can’t do,” continued Barton.

Gabrielle Stewart, EvoQuip Product Manager, said, “the Colt 1000 is one of our best-selling products, customers regularly comment on being impressed by the performance of the aggressive screen-box and have found it to be excellent in multiple applications.

The highly adaptable Colt 1000 Scalping screen can operate in heavy-duty scalping and precision screening applications and manage the most difficult materials. The Colt 1000 achieves a compact footprint maintaining the EvoQuip range’s ethos while achieving versatility and mobility. Flexibility is enhanced with configurable conveyor options and two-way split conversion. Featuring an aggressive double deck screen, variable screening angle with numerous screen media options, broad fines conveyor, quick set up time, and tall discharge height ensures the Colt 1000 distinguishes itself amongst its competition.

Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region:
Generation 8 Crawler Excavators

by Sawon Banerjee | Jan 3, 2021 | Construction Equipments

Every new Liebherr Generation 8 crawler excavator is designed to give a more powerful and comfortable machine around an entirely new basic concept. Higher engine output and a heavier ballast weight for higher bucket capacities and a new, specially developed boom concept optimizes the load curve. The rotational inertia and reduces fuel consumption.

An overview of the various customer applications of Generation 8 crawler excavators in the south-west of France.

Groupe Cassous uses its Liebherr R 922 Generation 8 crawler excavator at the Bio Centre du Sud-Ouest subsidiary to treat contaminated soil. The machine is equipped with an adjustable boom, allowing greater manoeuvrability, efficiency, and speed when working from the same position. This machine is the first to deliver the Liebherr subsidiary in Bordeaux after the model was launched in 2019. The Liebherr cab’s already well-known comfort, the most spacious in its class, has been further optimised. This has been achieved in particular through a new layout of the controls and improved ergonomics. The R 922 has already completed more than 650 operating hours.

Fayat TP will use an R 924 crawler excavator at a site of its subsidiary LN Maurice for disposal and slope work. The comfort for the operator and the dynamics of the machine allows a high production capacity per day.

Groupe Cassous’s Liebherr R 922 Generation 8 crawler excavator with
adjustable boom and tilting bucket: for greater versatility in the same position.

In Bordeaux, BDS uses its new R 926 exclusively for demolition work. The stability, robustness and dynamics of the new generation of Liebherr crawler excavators allow maximum efficiency and productivity in all conditions and even for the most demanding activities. The Lefort company carries out both earthmoving and demolition work with its R 930, which is possible thanks, among other things, to the stability, precision, and working speed of the machine. With an average consumption of 14 l per hour, the R 930 is very fuel-efficient.

What is even more impressive is that a new-generation R 934 is being tested by a Liebherr customer while building a golf course. Maximum productivity is essential in the excavation and repositioning of soil for the course layout, which is achieved thanks to the high bucket capacity of up to 2.50 m³.

There is a Liebherr crawler excavator for all applications: Here the R 926
from BDS with its sorting grab is perfectly suited to demolition work.

Finally, the R 945 at Colas’ Sarrazy subsidiary, in its “multi-user” configuration with a 10.70 m boom and 7.70 m dipper arm, is used to clean the sludge tanks of the group’s gravel pits across the region. On-board systems such as Liebherr’s on-demand power control and positive control hydraulic system ensure the right speeds to penetrate the bottom of the excavation pit. As with the entire new generation, fuel consumption is very satisfactory at around 20 l per hour.

First Introductory Phase Completed

The first introductory phase of the new generation of Liebherr crawler excavators, which started in 2019, currently comprises seven models (R 922, R 924, R 926, R 930, R 934, R 938, and R 945). This new generation is characterised by maximum safety, maximum comfort, the spacious and ergonomically revised cab, the wide range of lighting that can be adjusted as required for a better view of the machine environment, and simplified access for maintenance operations. The machine’s major strengths have been further enhanced by increasing the engine power and thus, the overall machine output. Moreover, the new models consume significantly less fuel than older models, resulting in greater efficiency. In the future, 50 to 100 tonne Liebherr crawler excavators will also be added to Generation 8.
