M O'Brien Plant HIre expands Haulage fleet with 2 brand new Beavertail lorries.


M O'Brien is a company commited to provide the highest level of service to its customers and to continually improve the image of the construction industry. 

We have invested in two brand new Beavertail Plant lorries to run out of our St Albans depot. The lorries will run above Cross rail spec and will have the following features;

Rear view camera
Blind Side view camera
Blind side, side scanners with audible driver alarm (to detect cyclists and pedestrians) 
Audible warning for left indicator
Rear and Side underrun bars
Chapter 8 signage and strobing beacons for visibility
Full Edge protection (not shown in picture) 


We have opted to run this specification of lorry for many reasons, with this lorry we can move up to 18 tonne excavators safely and legally. Unlike many types of vehicle that have lower capacities. 

We will use these lorrys to deliver our own plant and also to move customer machinery.

Special Projects London Bridge


Over the winter months M O'Brien Plant Hire has been working closely with Costain on their network rail London Bridge project. We played our part in the laying of new track during some tight closure times. 

5 Brand new Hitachi 135 dash 5 tier 3b excavators were delivered to the site and were piloted by a carefully chosen team from our top class of operators. 
The machinery was lifted in front of the iconic London Shard and down to track level where work would commence to replace the track.


The rail was lifted in sequence using our special universal lifting beams for maximum control and accuracy, making the operation as safe as possible. Our low emission Tier 3B machinery made the work easy and kept the air clean with personnel working in close proximity.
