At Plant Fit, we go beyond just supplying machines — we offer complete, on-site solutions that help our clients get the job done safely, efficiently, and on schedule. One of our latest projects involved a major commercial site clearance in Barnsley, completed in April 2025, for a brand-new occupier preparing to redevelop the land.
Our experienced team worked to strip out over 500 tonnes of inert material, removing debris, spoil and outdated storage infrastructure including a 40-foot container and a 40-foot trailer. The area was then stabilised and rebuilt with 300 tonnes of quality recycled aggregate, creating a solid and level base ready for construction or resurfacing.
This kind of transformation doesn’t happen by chance. It takes skilled operators, detailed planning, and the right fleet of machinery. For this job, we used:
-
A 14-tonne Komatsu excavator for deep digging and heavy material removal
-
A 9-tonne Thwaites dumper for swift and safe material movement
-
A JCB 120 roller to compact and smooth the newly laid recycled base

Did You Know?
-
The use of recycled aggregates can cut material costs by up to 25%, while reducing the environmental impact of groundworks.
-
Inert waste, like soil and rubble, must be carefully managed on commercial sites to meet UK landfill and disposal regulations.
-
Proper compaction using rollers like the JCB 120 helps prevent subsidence, which can lead to costly structural issues later on.
