The deal was secured at the Bauma construction equipment trade fair in Munich last week where the new product was shown for the first time to thousands of international customers.
HE Services chairman Hugh Edeleanu visited the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ show stand to see the Hydradig in action and immediately placed an order, which will be supplied through ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ dealer Greenshields ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ .
The key feature of the Hydradig is that engine and tanks are mounted on the chassis to lower the centre of gravity and increase stability. ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ sees the introduction of the Hydradig as potentially significant as and the backhoe loader itself.
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ excavator sales managing director James Richardson said: “The response to the Hydradig launch has been fantastic and to win a big order so quickly from a very important UK hirer is overwhelming. We have had a sensational response at Bauma to the Hydradig with unprecedented interest levels.â€�
Hugh Edeleanu said: “I am hugely impressed with the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Hydradig and I see massive opportunities for it in the UK market. It’s not often that a truly innovative product comes along but the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Hydradig really does break the mould. The fact that it has been developed specifically for modern construction sites will really resonate with our customers.â€�
The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Hydradig goes into production next month. It was unveiled to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ dealers last month and is described as “an innovative tool-carrying solution, which is set to radically change the way in which modern construction projects are undertaken, particularly in congested urban environments and on busy road networksâ€�.
