40 years of BPH

UK crawler and foundation crane specialist BPH Equipment has celebrated its 40th anniversary this week.

The company was established in 1975 to provide equipment for public works projects for local and regional authorities. It gradually developed and extended its operations to include water and waste treatment systems and process engineering then in 1989 it went public floating its shares on the London Stock Exchange.

BPH Equipment continued to invest in its fleet of crawler cranes and piling equipment for the heavy civil engineering and marine piling markets. From 2000 onwards BPH was one of the few UK companies left with the capability to provide a complete package of crawler crane and piling equipment for the largest and most complex marine piling projects.

The company operates a fleet of crawler cranes ranging from 50 to 250 tonnes.

Andy Ormerod, managing director Balfour Beatty Plant and Fleet Services said: “The 40th anniversary of BPH Equipment is a milestone worthy of celebration. With a compelling history, seeing the company go from strength to strength, I look forward to the next 40 years of success for the company”.
