Kattrak was founded in 2005 by Peter McLaughlin who recognised the huge potential and benefits of using Tracked dumpers. They have a Low Ground Pressure bearing and as such are able to go where wheeled machines cannot. They are ideal for soft and boggy ground conditions and hilly terrain. Another advantage is that they don’t leave a mess in the way that wheeled dumpers can. As people see the benefits of using tracked machines they are becoming evermore popular especially with the inclement British weather playing havoc on many a site.
Our team has a strong background in Plant hire and sales, with a sound working knowledge on a wide range of plant machinery. We have a well stocked workshop, offering a range of spare parts, including a variety of tracks, rubber and metal, at competitive prices. We also offer a repair service at our Yard in Kilwinning, or on site, depending on the customers requirements. We are happy to accept enquiries for all types of tracked carriers and are currently working on adapting tracked units to carry applications, such as hiab cranes, fence post chappers and scissor lifts.
Uses for tracked dumpers would include
- Carrrying equipment such as drill rigs to remote areas which are inaccessible to any other vehicle
- Working on sites with environmental issues. E.g the ground cannot be disturbed
- Hilly terrain where wheeled machines do not have the traction to climb
