The huge order includes 230 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Loadalls - which are the world’s best selling telescopic handlers -12 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Vibromax tandem vibratory rollers, four ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Micro excavators, three ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ 2CX Airmaster backhoe loaders and a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ VMT850 double drum vibratory compactor.
Supplied by dealer Gunn ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, Plant Hire UK has taken an extensive selection of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Loadalls, ranging from compact models through to the 540-170 which offers a lift capacity of 4.0 tonnes and a max lift height of 16.7 metres.
The latest of these telescopic handlers to be delivered incorporate ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™s Adaptive Load Control. Adaptive Load Control is designed to ensure ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ telescopic reach machines comply with the new European regulation EN 15000. This legislation has been introduced to reduce the likelihood of forward overturning of a variable reach truck performing stationary loading or placing operations on consolidated, stable and level ground, by the use of an automated Longitudinal Load Moment Control.
The latest deliveries mark a significant milestone in the relationship between the two companies as the total number of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Loadalls purchased has now hit 500 since Plant Hire UK was established five years ago.
Graham Jones, Plant Hire UK managing director, said: “We have used ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ telehandlers since we started because they are high quality, easy to operate, reliable and the back-up and parts availability are second to none. Nothing has changed in our eyes, as these huge milestones demonstrate - you get what you pay for and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ is clearly number one when it comes to telehandlers.
“The ongoing update of our fleet is part of our commitment to provide customers with the latest and safest equipment in excellent condition, ensuring no machine is more than two years old. The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ models continue to be popular and these new machines are already all out on hire. Customers like the brand and our engineers know the products well. The sheer volume and variety of equipment we have taken from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ reflects our continued and ambitious growth coupled with an excellent rapport with our dealer Gunn ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ which continues to deliver superb service and support.â€�
