We also provide wet hire of plant mostly for government and private sector and have a large number of asphalt clients for the profiling machines,” Mrs. Mead says. RCG saw that there was a natural transition into profiling and Wirtgen again could provide high quality options. “In business you always compare market options and as a result of our research we have committed to a fleet of Wirtgens.
