Hire Update
Performance, Reliability And Service Support Prompts Another
Order From R J Brooks & Son Ltd A new Volvo EC18C mini excavator has been delivered to plant hire and groundworking contractors R J Brooks & Son Ltd of Crediton, Devon, thanks to the performance and reliability of a previously owned Volvo ECR58 model and the service and support provided by Volvo’s utility dealer – Plant & Engineering Services according to proprietor Simon Brooks. R J Brooks & Son Ltd is a family run business centred at Crediton, Devon
undertaking all manner of groundworking contracts from small private jobs to large £1m plus projects. The recent addition of a Volvo EC18C mini excavator is the second Volvo machine Mr Brooks has owned, and was chosen thanks to a good experience with a previously owned ECR58. “The EC18C is an ideal size for most of the smaller projects we undertake and based on our past experience with the larger machine, I have to say I can’t fault the product,” says Mr Brooks. “It’s also re- assuring to know we can rely on Volvo’s local dealer for service and back up and the team at Plant & Engineering Services do just that,” he continued. To enhance the versatility of the EC18C R J Brooks has acquired a hydraulically
operated tilt bucket which is ideally suited to grading and backfilling applications. The machine is also used on hammer work and both hammer and tilt functions are easily accomplished thanks to the standard fitment of hammer / shear lines on the machine.

More Sales Success For Shindaiwa Shindaiwa of Wolverhampton continues to notch-up sales successes, this time with Adlington Welding Supplies to which it has recently supplied an initial batch of ten ECO300 welder generators and signed an agreement for the long-term supply of further units. With headquarters in Chorley, plus five strategically placed depots around the
UK, Adlington has grown to become one of the leading independent welding suppliers in the UK with a significant emphasis on equipment hire. Commenting on the initial £80,000 order, Adlington’s director Howard Turner
said: “We liked the specification of the Shindaiwa product and decided to take a unit on long-term trial, based at our new Scunthorpe depot. This trial resulted in some excellent feedback from our customers who particularly liked the fuel economy and choice of multi-voltage outlets.” Mr. Turner has also been impressed with the overall reliability of the ECO300
model and its low levels of both noise and emissions. In addition, its compact size has ensured easy transportation and storage. The ECO300 is currently the largest welder generator in Shindaiwa’s range and
is powered by a Kubota diesel engine with an advanced auto-idle system. This system automatically sets optimum engine speed for the job in hand without first running-up to maximum rpm, hence helping to reduce fuel consumption, noise and engine wear.

Good lifting and handling gear makes economic and Health and Safety sense. The handling range from Pramac is huge - from simple pallet trucks to diesel and electric powered lifters and stackers. Below are a few up-to –date examples of the Pramac range. The GS basic pallet truck comes with a three year warranty, maximum weight
pressure valve and tough hi-vis polyester paint job. For high lift pallet trucks try the HX10 series that are stable, versatile and highly
developed with electric motors and the option of front stabilisers and auto-leveling on the forks. Highly sophisticated lifting in the form of the FLX series powered by either diesel or
LPG are commonly hired or purchased by companies that value reliability, quality manufacture and good after sales service from a well-established European company. A new product this year is the CX12 powered pallet truck... its the most compact
truck in its class and provides a very competitive entry level product. It is compact for use in confined spaces and the ergonomic tiller makes for easy control and safe operation. For larger factory operations the QX18 –QX20 ac range is ideal. Featuring external
chargers and a sophisticated tiller steer that has “creep” speed for delicate and precise positioning of loads when stacking. The compact GX stacker is stronger and more compact than ever. With extra
protective battery covers and stronger steel used in its manufacture it is proving to be a customer favourite.
