SLD Power up with
SDMO Generators SLD, the pump and power rental specialists have enhanced their hire fleet of generators following the recent purchase of a fleet of the new SDMO Rental Compact product. SLD have invested in a range of sets from 30 to 100kVA, powered by the latest
Mitsubishi and John Deere engines. Each unit is managed by a SDMO NEXYS controller which monitors; oil pressure, coolant temperature, failure to start, over speed charging alternator fault and low fuel level. Environmental issues, such a reduced noise pollution and diesel spillage have
not been overlooked, with whisper-quiet sound levels and a fully bunded, long-run fuel tank. Their environmental qualities are further galvanised by confirmation that all of these Rental Compact generators comply with Stage 3 of the European Engine Emissions Directives 97/68/EC, 2002/88/EC, 2004/26/EC and 2006/105/EC, which came into force during 2011. These new sets will be distributed throughout the UK and made available to
hire to a variety of industries encompassing, utility, construction, event and aggregate industry sectors. In addition, they will be used for powering site cabins, automatic wheel washers on aggregate sites and for providing electricity to the SLD temperature control division’s air conditioning systems. They will also be used to supply the power for SLD’s own electrical submersible pump fleet. SLD Generators
operate throughout the UK providing a market leading range of specialist generator rental products
to a wide variety of industries and clients. The company is a part of the Carrier Rental Systems Corporation, a United Technologies Company.

Another Volvo For Rob Bool Plant Hire Illminster based general contractor and hirer, Rob Bool Plant Hire has taken delivery of a second Volvo compact excavator, a new ECR48C from Volvo CE’s utility dealer for the south west of England, Plant & Engineering Services Ltd. Opting for the 4.8 tonne compact excavator from Volvo came about from several deciding factors according to Proprietor Rob Bool. “We purchased a second hand
EC55B about three years ago for a specific project and enjoyed that experience in terms of reliability and performance. Now, the nature of the work we are undertaking around the Illminster area has dictated the need for a similar sized machine so based on previous experience decided to opt for the ECR48C with the reduced tail swing,” he said. “We are certainly impressed with the build quality of the machine, the overall package and support from P & ES and not least the prospect of a good residual value when it comes time to trade,” he continued. The Volvo ECR48C is powered by a Volvo 2.2 litre low emission engine producing 35 hp
coupled to a closed centre, load sensing hydraulic system for fast cycle times, smooth control and independence of each machine movement. Two speed travel on the machine is fully automatic whilst the operator’s environment boasts one of the most spacious for the machine’s size on the market. Air conditioning with well positioned vents for effective heating, cooling and de-misting was also ordered as an optional extra by Rob Bool. The machine offers a generous horizontal reach of 6.1 metres, a dig depth of 3.8 metres and a
lift capacity of 412kg at full reach across the carriage. A full range of attachments and buckets are easily changed thanks to either a manual or hydraulic quick hitch. The ECR48C supplied to Rob Bool Plant Hire has been equipped with a Harford hydraulic ‘I’ lock quick hitch and a full set of buckets. The new Volvo ECR48C joins a mixed fleet of general plant operated by Rob Bool Plant Hire.
The company is engaged in general contracting, groundworks and landscaping projects as well as agricultural contracting and plant hire within a thirty mile radius of Illminster. Plant & Engineering Services of Beare near Exeter Ltd is the dealer for Volvo utility covering the south west of England.
