Client Testimonial

"Excellent Service from Start to Finish!

A R Banks were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. We had a tricky Hiab delivery, and they handled it seamlessly, making everything smooth for us and ensuring a successful delivery to our customer.

Their pricing was very competitive, and I don’t think you’d find better value for money with such outstanding customer service at this price! We’ll definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!"

Safety all the way

Our Kubota mini excavators have the following safety features (model-specific):

  • Optional rear-view camera, which significantly improves rear visibility.
  • Optional travel alarm warns nearby workers when the mini excavator is on the move.
  • The LED work light can be programmed to turn off between 30 seconds and 2 minutes after the engine has stopped, which allows the operator to exit the machine and walk away safely under full illumination.
  • Some models are fitted with a boom and arm-lowering control device as standard.
  • Double structure stainless exhaust gas pipe. The double structure exhaust gas pipe helps to reduce the increases in exhaust gas temperatures caused by the DPF automatic regeneration process to minimise the risk of danger to people nearby and the environment. Furthermore, to prevent rust it is now made of stainless steel.
