This week, John Young our Construction Sales Manager just can’t keep the smile off his face having achieved two of his long term ambitions. The first? Convincing Darren Gilmour, Malcolm Construction’s Plant Director that Wacker Neuson really is the wheel deal. The second? Delivering the UK’s very first Wacker Neuson EW100 10 Ton Wheeled Excavator to Malcolm’s South Street Depot in Glasgow’s West End.

Original negotiations centred around Wacker Neuson’s 9503 Excavator, but when Darren got wind that there was a new excavator in the pipeline which could be manufactured to his specific requirements he decided to hold out for the EW100. So after months of wheeling, dealing and demonstrating the mighty powerful and versatile Wacker Neuson EW100 has arrived hot from the production line complete with its bespoke triple boom , all-wheel steer, rear stabiliser legs and Powertilt coupler – wrapped of course in the Malcolm livery.
Indeed, it is the first Wacker Neuson Excavator of its type to be sold in the UK and it’s a hat trick all round because it is also the first Wacker Neuson machine sale and purchase between Hamilton Brothers and Malcolm respectively! John is of course anticipating that it will be the first of many more as in his opinion “for quality engineering, reliability and longevity, Wacker Neuson is hard to beat”. For more information about Wacker Neuson’s new EW100 Excavator contact our Construction Sales Manager John Young.
