Barford
From Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki
The Barford Company is a Site dumper manufacturer based in the famous Invcita works of Aveling-Barford in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. They are a successor to the Aveling-Barford company. They build 2 axle site dumpers, and rebuild older Aveling-Barford 3 Axle Off road dumpers for export companies and markets. They are part of the Wordsworth Holdings group who have a rane of engineering orientated companies based on the site, which they acquired in 1988, sharing some of the machine capacity.
Barford is the No. 3 Site dumper manufacture in the UK competing with Thwaites and Benford, and against imported machines in the 2 ton to 10 ton forward tip market. This is one sector a lot of the big names dont build machines for. As 'Forward tip' machines are predominantly a UK & Irish market machine. Of the big names only Terex sell dumpers of this type.
