GROUNDFORCE


Award winning construction equipment rental specialist Groundforce have relocated to a new, larger premises in Co. Laois to facilitate further growth and expansion of their range of equipment.
The new three-acre site in the Bay Road Business Park in Mountmellick, which opened at the beginning of June, is conveniently situated close to the main motorway networks, providing excellent access across the country.

The new, larger premises is twice the size of their previous depot and offers improved facilities for customers and staff. The increase in space will allow Groundforce to stock more equipment, including their larger-capacity hydraulic struts, Larsen sheet piles and their piling attachment portfolio which offers a comprehensive range of crane-suspended hammers and excavator-mounted vibrators.

Products from their most recently launched pile cropping equipment range will also be available. This is a new range introduced to meet the increased demand for pile breakers on large commercial and residential developments.

The facility also includes a new dedicated painting booth, two dispatch areas and double wash bay to allow quicker return and dispatch of equipment. Groundforce General Manager Joseph Lenihan comments: “At Groundforce, delivering top-class customer service is at the core of our business model. This drive, combined with our continued investment in new equipment and technical services, allows us to deliver advanced solutions to our ever growing and loyal customer base.

“The relocation will allow us to build on the success we have achieved over the past 12 years and allow the business to expand its product range and stock holdings while providing better facilities for our customers and dedicated staff.”
