PLANT PLANET
Executive Hire Show
review
Altrad Belle Altrad Belle is an established manufacturer of light equipment for the building and construction industries, and needless to say, their stand blew me away! It’s clear that these shows can still wow me even after a year at Plant Planet. Their stand was almost defying gravity with the displays, filled to the brim with product. (Plus, they also supplied tea, coffee and cake! Anyone that offers me a brownie is instantly a friend of mine, that’s for sure!) Once I had got my tea, MD Ray Neilson showed me round their products, including their new range, promoting the message one battery fits all. All their batteries were 82V to fit this focus, and provide all the advantages of petrol, just minus the noise, maintenance and vibrations! The products showcased were: - PCLX 32 E+ & 40 E+: A high-performance battery-powered lightweight plate compactors, designed for professional and rental use. - PCLX 32S E+: A high performing battery- powered lightweight plate compactor. - DUX E+: A portable, robust poker drive unit providing effective air removal from concrete. - MBX 08/120E+: A battery powered Mini Bowser Pressure Washer, designed for maximum mobility without compromising performance. - MBX 12/180: Another Mini Bowser Pressure Washer, guaranteeing a sufficient water supply or cleaning tasks whilst on the go. - PWX 08/120E+: A robust, cold water, high- pressure, battery powered Pressure Washer. So no, I wasn’t swayed by the cake at all, I’m speaking the honest truth when I say Altrad Belle has it covered, and are definitely experts in their field! “We had so many fantastic hire companies stopping by to chat and check out our new products. It was great to see so many orders placed.” Ray Neilson, Altrad Belle MD. Avant Tecno/Leguan Lifts Specialising in compact, versatile loaders and high-performance spider lifts, Avant Tecno appear to be untouchable. At EHS, Leguan Lifts (part of the Avant family) displayed their latest Leguan 265 crane, a brand-new model, that was launched on 30th January, which is the tallest spider lift to date! This model offers a 26.5m maximum working height, 13.6m outreach, and a 250kg lift capacity, and is the fastest 27m spider lift on the market, as it extends to its full height in only one minute, thirty-five seconds! The Leguan 265 is the ideal choice for many fleet operators, with its 45% gradeability and the Elevated Driving Position (EDP) function; it offers extra height without compromising on efficiency and overall performance. This is a huge breakthrough for Avant and Leguan, further emphasising how they always deliver on high-quality, highly durable and efficient machinery. It’s clear to see why they are an industry-leading company!
