UK contractor Dorton Group has been hit by a major attachment theft.
UK demolition contractor Dorton Group has returned from the Bank Holiday long weekend to find that it has fallen victim to a major attachment theft. The following is a copy of an email received from the company’s Terry Quarmby a few moments ago:
On Saturday 2nd May we had a big break in to our Yard premises at Burgess Hill. The thieves caused an extensive amount of damage to plant and equipment to get to the rear of the yard where we had stored the machine attachments in lieu of the coming long weekend.
They brought with them a Hiab lorry, sawed off the tongue to the gate latch, smashed the alarms and lighting standards, ripped out the electric cables and overturned at least 10 pallets and stillages of reclaimed materials to get their lorry through. They smashed a window and door lock on the 7 tonner to move it and broke off all the locks to the storage containers but do not appear to have taken anything from them.
Altogether we lost 4 x selector grabs, 1 x pulverisor and 2 x hammers. Details of which are as follows:
1 x Demco 275 Hydraulic breaker for 35 tonner
1 x Demco 150 Hydraulic breaker for 20 tonner
1 x Mantovanibenne GR2200 Hydraulic selector grab for 35 tonner
1 x Mantovanibenne GR 4.5 Hydraulic selector grab for 35 tonner
1 x Mantovanibenne GR 3.5 Hydraulic selector grab for 20 tonner
1 x Kinshofer D40H Hydraulic selector grab for 35 tonner
1 x Mantovanibenne MS20R Hydraulic pulverisor for 20 tonner
Readers are kindly requested to contact Dorton Demolition directly if they are offered any of these items for sale.
Many Thanks
