Some of Murphy's new CatsMurphy has spent £6.5m with Cat dealer Finning UK & Ireland on 33 excavators, ranging from the 13-tonne Cat 313 GC to the 35-tonne 336, alongside a Cat D6 XE dozer, the first of its kind in the Murphy fleet. It was driven by wanting to improve operational efficiency and sustainability across the fleet. The D6 XE is expected to reduce fuel costs by around £110 per day, as it uses on average 23% less fuel than other machines of its type, with 35% better fuel efficiency on average. “As Murphy wanted to prioritise reducing the environmental impact of its fleet, we also recommended the Cat 336 excavator. This machine is designed to comply with the latest global emissions regulations and similarly to the Cat 313 GC, is highly fuel efficient thanks to its C13 engine and electric-hydraulic system.
