A number of recent deals completed by Komatsu distributor McHale Plant Sales is being highlighted as a continued growth in the plant sale sector.

Within the current quarter the Birdhill-based distributor has recorded a number of significant purchases, all of which point to an improvement in our economic conditions.

On the civil engineering side, contractor Wills Brothers of Foxford has taken delivery of two Komatsu D65PX-17 bulldozers which have been put to work on the N11 upgrade in Wicklow while Moriarty Civil Engineering of Tralee has purchased Komatsu PC360LC-10 and PC210LC-10 crawler excavators for use on their site at Rockchapel, Co. Cork.
