Hire Update Two New Brushcutters from ECHO


ECHO have introduced two new brushcutters to their range, both equipped with a new gearbox designed to prove high levels of torque ideal for clearing areas of heavy vegetation.

Alloa Hire Centre Takes The First Volvo EC18C In Scotland Moving into mini excavator hire with a Volvo


EC15BXTV in March 2007 has proved to be a great success for Alloa Hire Centre. Four years on with a fleet of four machines, the company has upgraded to the latest Volvo model taking delivery of the first EC18C to be delivered north of the border.


Established twenty five years ago, the family run business had, up until 2007, concentrated its hire activities to just small tools and static equipment. Following the move to new premises on the outskirts of Alloa, the opportunity to expand into mobile plant however presented itself to John and Barry MacPherson resulting in the purchase of their first Volvo EC15BXTV. The new Volvo EC18C is one of four machines ranging between 1.5 and 2.0 tonnes that became available on the GB market last autumn and is a direct replacement for the EC15B XTV model. Powered by a 12.3 Kw (16.8hp) engine, the machine features automatic two speed travel and extendable undercarriage as standard. One significant change on the new models is that hydraulic hoses for the digging equipment are now routed through the boom and cylinders are top mounted to minimize on site damage.

Leads To Their Additional Appointment To Cover South Wales. Construction giant Molson Group is reporting brisk business in the improving mini excavator market after acquiring the South West dealership for Kubota Construction Equipment in 2010. The Avonmouth-based firm estimates it has supplied a new Kubota machine almost every day since taking over their franchise, which covers Bristol, Gloucestershire, Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset. This success has now resulted in Molson’s additional appointment as


the official Kubota Construction Equipment dealer for the South Wales area, with effect from 1st May 2011. The 19-strong Kubota mini excavators range is the widest of its kind on the market and extends from the lightweight 980kg K008-3, right up to the eight tonne KX080-3. It includes a mixture of zero and tight tail swing machines and has recently been boosted with the addition of three brand new Dash-4 models, the U48-4, the U55-4 and the KX057-4, all of which have been upgraded with more digging power and space-age LED control displays.


All in all, last year was a good time for Molson to join the Kubota team and Jonathan Wilson, the company’s managing director, said that their association is shaping up extremely well.
