A Big Breakthrough in the Scottish Leith Docks

JL Plant Services Limited has quickly followed up on their early success after becoming Atlas Copco dealers.

JL Plant�s latest sale is to Central Demolition, one of the largest demolition companies in Scotland.

Central Demolition started in 1993 with only 3 employees but has grown at such a rapid rate that they employ over 200 people. Currently Central Demolition is working on the development of Leith Docks, which are being turned into housing.

Part of Leith Docks includes a large old mill, which has old grain silos attached to the structure. To ensure that the structure came down safely and quickly Central Demolition has made their first purchase of Atlas Copco equipment.

Central Demolition have bought the Atlas Copco MB 1700 hydraulic hammer attached to a Hitachi 850 long reach excavator, which gives a total reach of 42m. This is necessary to reach into the silos to strip away the concrete structures to expose the steel.

Stuart Ray, Service Manager at Central Demolition said: �This is the first time that we have purchased Atlas Copco and we�ve been delighted with the results. We�ve had to work quickly, in a built up area, where noise levels are restricted, and Atlas have been excellent. We knew that Atlas bought Krupp a couple of years ago, and their products are simply the best in the market place.�

JL Plant intend to make all of their hire fleet Atlas Copco over the next few years. General Manager Jason Easton said: �It is now just over a year since we took on the Atlas Copco dealership, and we are convinced that it was a great move for us.�
