Mick George has bought four DL420-7 models, two DL580-5s and a DL300-5. They are all now working at quarries within the Mick George Group.
A further DL320-7 wheeled loader is also expected to arrive this month.
The new machines have been supplied by Leicester-based Pioneer Plant, the new Doosan dealer for Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire and South Lincolnshire.
The purchase followed a demonstration of the DL580-5 at Mick George’s limestone quarry in Wakerley, Northamptonshire.
Quarry manager Michael Plant recalls: “In the four days we had the demo machine it proved to be good on fuel, comfortable for the operators and kept up with the crushing plants and loading lorries. We knew from then, that if we were to purchase two DL580-5 models, the company would be able to save on costs in the quarry, replacing the three smaller wheel loaders the company previously used to keep up with the demand.
