Executive Hire Preview
ALTRAD Belle is back at the Executive Hire Show once again Stand D100 The company is using the show to re-enforce its position as a leading supplier of light construction equipment with some new product launches. ALTRAD Belle will use the 2012 event to showcase a brand new Mini dumper
– the BMD300. The rugged machine also has a Snow Plough attachment available as an option, which with the harsh winter conditions we are being promised, will be the perfect accessory! Also due for launch will be a revised model of the company’s flagship PCLX320
Plate Compactor. This new model features a 14 litre integrated water tank and additional protection to its frame. Which according to ALTRAD Belle, is ideal for the heaviest-duty site conditions. In addition, new versions of the popular 450mm Floorsaw class will be
displayed. The Ranger 450 Series Floorsaws are available with the option of a Honda Petrol Engine or a Lombardini Diesel power plant and suitable for the accurate cutting of concretes and asphalts. A range of accessory wheels for wheelbarrows, the ‘Fort Flex Pro’ will also be
on display. These ‘No More Leaks’ wheels have a solid tyre made with a patented material which has the same load bearing properties as pneumatic – with no risk of puncture! This in turn saves valuable time and of course, money! These are available with either Polypropylene or Steel hubs. The final new product to be showcased will be the ALTRAD Plettac ‘Alu Site
Staircases’, which will form part of its stand, using the company’s German manufactured ‘Plettac Contur’ Multi-direction system scaffold. The staircases, available in a full range of heights, are quick and easy to erect,
and a great addition to a hire fleet, where customers require a reliable and safe means of access.

Volvo Construction Equipment at
The Executive Hire Show Stand B15 Since purchasing his first Volvo BL71 back in 2008, owner operator Andy Matravers of Minehead Somerset has been that impressed with his machine that he has opted to replace it with the latest B version – the Volvo BL71B. Sporting a new curvier, stylized look, as well as a roomier CareCab, the BL71B
‘Prestige’ sold to Andy Matravers has an operating weight of 9.8 tonnes and is powered by a Volvo 5 litre Tier III low emission engine developing 94 nett h.p. The torque converter on the machine is one of the largest in the industry and has excellent peak torque and torque rise and this couple to the powershift transmission maintains progressive traction - even on steep gradients. A differential lock on the rear axle is engaged via a foot switch on the side of the brake pedal and provides maximum rear wheel grip over slippery surfaces. Both the loader and excavator benefit from flow sharing hydraulics that enable
multi-functioning for efficient and smooth operation thanks to load sensing hydraulics that constantly adapt to the needs of the job in hand. With oil delivery that matches the required force, there is always the speed and power required for all hydraulic functions. In applications such as load and carry, where speed is important, the system
efficiently delivers the required flow. Andy Matravers Plant Hire offers a complete contracting service specialising in
general groundworks as well as contract work for utility companies such as Wessex Water throughout the West Country. See some of the impressive Volvo range at the Executive Hire Show.
