David Horton Contractors Ltd, a family-run business established in 1993, continues to reinforce its position as one of the leading groundworks and demolition contractors in the South West. Specialising in demolition, plant hire, asbestos removal, and groundworks, the company prides itself on delivering efficient, safe, and high-quality services across Bristol, Bath, Swindon, and beyond.
Their demolition operations rely on mobile crushing equipment, which has always been a cornerstone of their projects. In 2021, David Horton Contractors made the strategic decision to upgrade their aging six-year-old Powerscreen crusher to the then-latest Powerscreen Premiertrak 330. Fast forward to today, and the company has once again chosen to invest in another brand-new Premiertrak 330, reaffirming their loyalty to Powerscreen and Blue Machinery (Southern) Ltd.
Daniel Horton, Director at David Horton Contractors, explained the decision behind the latest upgrade: “Our 2021 Premiertrak 330 served us exceptionally well, but as the business grows, we need the very best in efficiency and performance to meet increasing demand. The new PT 330 brings enhancements that align perfectly with our commitment to delivering top-tier services. It’s robust, user-friendly, and gives our operators the control and flexibility they need on-site.”
The latest Powerscreen Premiertrak 330 is designed for high-performance crushing in demanding applications such as demolition, quarrying, recycling, and mining. The machine features a two-piece grizzly feeder for improved material flow, a variable crusher speed for precise operation, and a hydrostatic drive system that allows reverse operation—a key benefit for recycling and demolition applications. The PT 330 is also known for its quick setup time and quiet operation, making it both productive and operator-friendly.
The customer’s enduring relationship with Powerscreen and Blue Machinery (Southern) played a pivotal role in their buying decision. Daniel elaborated: “We’ve built a strong relationship with Blue Machinery over the years. Their aftercare is second to none, whether it’s spare parts or dealing with breakdowns. It’s not just about the machine itself but also the support network behind it. While we considered other options, the reliability and service from Blue tipped the scales in Powerscreen’s favour once again.”
Stuart Hardiman, Service Director at Blue Machinery (Southern), commented:
“David Horton Contractors are a valued customer, and we’re proud to have been part of their journey for so many years. Their choice to upgrade to another PT 330 is a testament to the quality of Powerscreen machinery and the support we provide. The new design improvements on the PT 330, coupled with its increased productivity, ensure it’s a perfect fit for their needs. We’re grateful for their continued trust in Blue Southern.”
The new Premiertrak 330 has already hit the ground running on its first job, as we visited the machine whilst it was working on a demolition job in just outside of Swindon.
