Wordsworth Raises The Roof

by | Sep 8, 2023 | Latest Stories

ONE of the UK’s leading tipper operators engaged in bulk earthworks, excavation and site clearance, Wordsworth Excavations of Barnsley continues to expand its vehicle fleet with new rigid and artic tippers, all fitted with Binotto hydraulics.
“Whatever trucks we have, Binotto tips them,” said plant manager Craig Lofthouse. “Our eight wheelers, tractors and trailers are all fitted with Binotto hydraulics and tipping gears. When something is reliable, fully proven and comes with proper back-up, we like to standardise on it. That way, we keep things simple, which in this industry is a definite advantage.”
In a similar vein, all Wordsworth’s recent vehicles have been Volvos, acquired through Crossroads Commercials of Birstall, Leeds. The 8x4s are all 420hp FMXs fitted with Thompsons steel bodies, whilst the latest tractors are larger FHs with more powerful 500hp turbo compound engines for heavier 44 tonne work with tipping trailers.
