In 1933 the merger of Aveling and Porter with Barford and Perkins, the UK’s leading manufacturers of steam powered road rollers, gave birth to a powerful force in precision engineering: Aveling-Barford.
To meet the diversification the needs of the fast growing market for motor powered construction equipment, lead to Aveling-Barford introducing the UK to its first site dumper in 1936.
The company is still recognized today by its signature work horse symbol.
As part of the family owned and run, Wordsworth Holdings Group, Barford produces a comprehensive range of site dumpers from its 65 acre facility in Grantham, Lincolnshire, UK. |
