Fairport Construction Equipment Ltd Information

Fairport Construction Equipment Ltd is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of light plant and machinery. Based in Sheffield, the firm manufactures and tests its product range on-site, making use of local materials and suppliers wherever possible. This commitment to local manufacturing is evidenced by its Made in Sheffield accreditation. Fairport Construction Equipment has a rich history dating back to the mid-1800s. The firm began life as Warsop, which produced rock drills for the quarrying industry. Over the years the product line was expanded and the company went through many takeovers, being bought by Fairport Engineering in 1983. Two years later, Fairport Engineering bought Metrix Engineering in Sheffield and the two companies, along with Flexible Drive and Tool, merged in 1994. The firm was reborn as Fairport Construction Equipment in 2000. It is renowned for its commitment to product development as well as its high standards of customer service. Its products includes a full range of compaction equipment, vibrating pokers, power trowels, hydraulic pumps, block splitters and more.
