“Deciding to go with Doherty was an easy choice to make when starting ATD. Our investment into reliable, high-quality gear, and dedicated work ethic have been fundamental to our early success.”
Andrew Harrison, Director at ATD Civil Group
“Collective Contractors started using Doherty attachments in 2018 and haven’t wavered because the product quality is unparalleled.”
Simon Long, Finance Manager at Collective Contractors
“With the perfect record we’ve had with our Doherty attachments, we plan to continue using them in the future.”
Ken Young, Director of Tracks Concrete
“We bought our first Doherty bucket in 2018 for a Hitachi 35-tonne digger. It seemed unique in its design for a large machine — deep to keep the capacity high but also narrow to ensure breakout force was not compromised. The quality of the service was also something that I won’t forget.”
Chad Empson, Director of P3 Earthworks
“I’ve used Doherty since 2017, when my new excavator came with a D-Lock Tilt. We stick with them because of the build quality and great customer support – when a new machine arrives with a Doherty hitch or bucket on it, the boys froth over it!”
Josh Simpson, Director of SB Civil Limited
“I’ve never used a machine without a Doherty hitch of some sort. It’s not until you’re sitting in the cab, that you really appreciate the increased versatility of my machine. It’s really opened new avenues for my business. Combining the D-Lock hitch with the NOX has been an absolute game-changer. I’m doing the same amount of work in a fraction of the time; I can’t imagine using anything else on my machines.”
Wyatt Bartram, Owner/Director of Wyatt Bartram Excavations
“The new safety legislation in New Zealand and Australia has been an excellent step forward for us all, but I also prefer the Doherty Tilt Bucket because of its solid construction and design integrity. It has a good range of tilt which allows you to cut a half to one batter at full tilt.”
Shane Brownell, Owner/Operator of Brownell Earthmoving
“Along with our Hitachi excavators, we use the Doherty D-Lock Tilt coupler pretty much on all our projects because the guys are constantly changing buckets throughout the day.
As well as specialist equipment, health and safety is a major part of everything we do, and the D-Lock Tilt’s automatic dual pin lock system makes for a far safer working environment.”
Rob Moon, Managing Director of Moon Civil and Drainage
“Quick couplers meeting important safety requirements is definitely important to us. The dual lock system of the Snaplock+ reassures the operator of this.
Our operators like the way they lock tight and being multi-fit, they pick up all our attachments, and we all like the fact Doherty’s couplers and attachments are a quality New Zealand-made range of products.”
Kane Bennett from Melbourne Tractors
“…our line of work is really specialised therefore the right equipment is vital. One slip up could be very costly which is why we need attachments that give us the best control and manoeuvrability. We’re using the Doherty Snaplock+ Tilt coupler because it enables us to work around underground services confidently.
I like the fact it’s dual pin locking, has a compact design, as well as being really simple to operate. The central lifting lug is ideal in my line of work too.”
Craig Severn, Managing Director of Severn Excavations
