A-Plant makes big Doosan compressor order

UK-based rental company A-Plant has made a 300-unit order for a range of Doosan Portable Power’s portable air compressors, in a deal worth £3 million (€3.56 million).

A-Plant’s order comprises over 300 Doosan models, including around 60 of its Dual Mode 7/73-10/53 and 7/124-10/104 models.

The balance of the A-Plant order is made up of 7/20, 7/26EG, 7/41 and 7/41G single- and two-tool models, as well as the new 10/174 model, which is Doosan’s largest single axle portable compressor.

Andrew Hatton, business director, EMEA, for Doosan Portable Power, said, “We are delighted to win the new A-Plant order, which shows great confidence in the product range and the aftermarket service we offer. 

“This is the biggest order yet for the new 7/124-10/104 Dual Mode compressor and along with the 7/73-10/53 model, the growth in the numbers of these Dual Mode models in the A-Plant compressor fleet is a perfect demonstration of the benefits this concept brings to the rental industry.”

Doosan said its portable compressors – the 7/73-10/53 and 7/124-10/104 – provided a two-for-one rental solution, which replaced the need to have two different sized models in the fleet and offered greater operational flexibility for both A-Plant and its customers.
