Lyte Ladders & Towers Celebrating 10 years of Towers, And Much
More… 2012 has had an exciting start for Lyte Ladders & Towers. January saw the introduction of our new Director of Welded products, Mr Dougie McCombie. Dougie has over 13 years of experience working in the access industry and is an excellent addition to the Lyte team. He is on board to steer the welded products division forward and help the company to continue the growth they have been enjoying. In February Lyte exhibited at the Executive Hire Show in Coventry and launched the new Lyte trade combination ladder range as well as the new product brochure. The show also exhibited the Lyte bespoke service and this was illustrated by the displaying of a very impressive bridging
system.In March we will be adding further products to our new catalogue making our product portfolio bigger than ever before in our 65 year
history.Lyte are also celebrating the 10 year anniversary of manufacturing aluminium access towers and welded products with a year of new tower system products. Established as a ladder manufacturer in 1947, Lyte began the manufacture of towers in 2002 as a result of an ever changing world of health and safety as well as the needs and demands of the
customer.The Lyte training department is also going from strength to strength and is growing at a very impressive rate. Our number of PASMA and Ladder Association courses completed has increased dramatically, with an impressively high pass rate. 2012 will see more courses being added to our ever growing portfolio.With such a busy year ahead of us we want to make sure all our customers benefit from these great products and services.

Youngman Reports
A Successful Hire Show Despite the challenging times currently being experienced across the construction and building sector, Youngman Group’s stand at the recent Executive Hire Show generated a steady flow of enquiries and some firm orders. Besides exhibiting several examples from its well-established low level access
range of equipment, the company also launched several completely new products which were very well received by visitors to the busy stand. In fact, in several cases this interest was converted into firm orders, with many more enquires to be followed-up in the coming weeks. Commenting on the show, Youngman Group’s marketing manager Stuart
Proudfoot said: “We were delighted with the quality of the visitors to our stand and the fact that many rental companies, both large and small, were looking to up- date their fleets with new equipment.”

First Volvo Mini For H Dunstan & Sons General contracting and plant hirers H Dunstan & Sons of Falmouth, Cornwall has broken with tradition and purchased their very first Volvo EC27C compact excavator from Volvo’s utility dealer for the south west of England – Plant & Engineering Services Ltd. Purchasing a new Volvo machine has been a new departure for proprietor Brian Dunstan and a well considered investment in his opinion. “I’ve been impressed with
the overall quality on offer from Volvo for some time and decided to put them to the test when it was time to replace one of my older mini excavators,” he said. “And so far, along with my operators, I’m more than pleased with the outcome.” Joining a mixed fleet of equipment including mini excavators, & 20
tonne excavators and backhoe loaders the relatively new EC27C replaces the previous EC25 and EC30 models. Powered by a Volvo 1.6 litre low emission Tier III the machine delivers the performance in the range of the previous Volvo EC30 – yet with a compact design reminiscent of the smaller EC25. The conventional excavator design provides exceptional stability along with minimal superstructure swing. Simultaneous control of slew and offset movements provides faster, more precise performance due to the right joystick control lever that features an electronically proportional roller. This allows the operator to accurately adjust hydraulic flow as needed. All hydraulic functions are performed in total independence for more control and less delay when handling multiple tasks. An automatic two-speed travel system engages when operating in high speed mode, automatically shifting gear from high to low according to the travel load. Another feature for increased efficiency is the standard auto-idling system that lowers engine speed to idle if a control is not used for five seconds. The engine reverts to the pre-selected speed almost instantly when any control is moved. This system delivers lower fuel consumption, longer engine life and less environmental noise.
