BOA Plant Hire, a division of Bedford-based structural steelwork specialist Barratts of Aspley, has been investing heavily to update its fleet of equipment, purchasing more than 25 Kubota compact excavators in the last six months. The company operates in excess of 100 machines, of which 80 are Kubotas, with almost every model from the micro K008-5 through to the 8.5-tonne KX085-5 represented in the fleet.
