The Autumn months are always full on at PPHQ as we support our customers with the many projects and requirements needed in the last few months of the year.
Featured products and services this month were our Service Kits for Komatsu Excavators and Wheel Loaders and Komatsu Dozer Final Drive Repairs.
No need to search through the parts book for each individual part, we will save you time with our complete maintenance kits that ensure you have the right parts when planning your service intervals. We offer complete Komatsu Service Kits including all the essential filters and components you would need to carry out 500-, 1000- or 2000-hour services for your Komatsu Excavators, Wheel Loaders, Bulldozers and Dump Trucks.
Unlike many of the plug and go drives on the market for Excavators, Dozer Final Drives are much more bespoke to the individual machine which in many cases reduces the options available. Our Workshop team are experts in this field, and with their technical knowledge, repair and rebuild Komatsu Dozer final drives to OEM standards at a fraction of the cost of a genuine new drive. See our article on Common Dozer Final Drive Failures.
Friday October 27th saw the Plant Parts annual Staff Quiz Night! Pizza, beer and some good old friendly (mostly!) competition. The quiz has become a firm favourite in the Staff Social Events diary and for the past few years has been held at the local Hadleigh Cricket Club Pavilion. Plant Parts are a proud sponsor of Hadleigh Cricket Club – more information can be found here.
The end of October saw the hugely anticipated boxing fight between Fabio Wardley and David Adeleye, the main undercard on the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ fight – Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou – in Saudi Arabia on Saturday 28th October. Plant Parts has sponsored heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley since 2021 and we were excited to see him take on his biggest challenge yet with every confidence of victory. Although we couldn’t travel to make the match, there was plenty of support here in Hadleigh! Fabio defeated David Adeleye with a seventh-round stoppage, retaining his British championship and claiming the WBO European heavyweight belt.
