Investing in efficient equipment
The company says it reviews fuel-use information from its service department when considering machinery purchases, with an emphasis on newer emissions technology and reduced fuel consumption.
Our environmental approach
Sustainability
Managing the environmental impact of heavy plant involves choices about equipment, fuel, servicing, logistics and people. These are the six areas described in KT Montgomery’s published sustainability commitments.
Regular equipment maintenance
Routine servicing is intended to keep machines operating efficiently, limit avoidable emissions and extend their useful working lives.
Reducing transport emissions
Transport movements and routes are planned with fuel consumption in mind, including coordination of equipment movements where practical.
Energy conservation at the workplace
The company describes its Galston workplace as designed to maximise natural light and reduce reliance on heating and artificial lighting.
Employee training
The existing website records the introduction of compulsory sustainability training during 2025, intended to build awareness of environmental practices at work and beyond.
Carbon-offsetting intentions
The earlier sustainability statement described a 2025 intention to consider offsetting schemes, including tree planting and farmland rewilding. This remains a stated intention rather than a verified completed programme.
