Bristol-based equipment and tool hire business Murray Hire Centres is continuing to expand its long-standing fleet of Först woodchipper machines, after consistently being impressed by the superiority and reliability of the machinery.
Established since 1982, Murray Hire Centres is a close-knit family run business, now employing a total of 15 staff. With 600 account customers, the business has built itself a reputation as the best one-stop shop for equipment and tool hire in Bristol and the surrounding areas.
Mandy Taylor, Managing Director of Murray Hire Centres, explains why the business has worked closely with Först since its inception and has chosen to maintain the relationship ever since.
“There are numerous factors that make the Först machinery stand out to other machines available on the market,” Mandy says. “We’ve always felt that, paired with the consistent reliability and efficiency of the machines, their smart appearance also makes them far superior against other competitors.”
Murray Hire Centres has two TR6’s, one ST6 and one TR8 machine, with another TR8 on order. Ideal for remote locations, the TR6 is a compact and manoeuvrable chipper with Först’s unique ForstGrip feed-roller system, allowing for even the toughest forks and limbs to be broken.
Mandy continues: “We have reaped nothing but benefits from having Först machines on our fleet. For the business as a whole, it’s allowed us to offer a full circle of products to our customers. The robust machines have been utilised in a variety of scenarios over time, from general arboriculture work through to site clearances for large company extensions, as well as housing estates.
“Despite it being a rarity to face an issue with the machines, the warranty and after-sales support offered by Först is superb, which really gives us faith in the products and provides us with the assurance we need as a business.”
Mandy is confident the relationship with Först will continue to strengthen: “Since day one, we have always had a fantastic relationship with Först, and we firmly believe that the machines are the best chippers available on the market.”
