Youngman launches LED lighting tower


Amongst several new launches from the Youngman Group was an LED version of its Ecolite lighting tower. It has four 27watt LED heads with a quoted life


expectancy of 78,000 hours, and is claimed to give 145 hours’ running time on a single tank of fuel.


Also unveiled was the Colour Mobile VMS, a full colour version of the company’s solar powered trailer-mounted variable message sign. In addition to generating industry standard amber text, its 2730 by 1850mm matrix can show colour messages and moving images. The display can be changed remotely via GPS/GSM, and Youngman believes the product will be popular for use in highway maintenance applications and for event management.

The high discharge version of the smallest model in Wacker Neuson’s new line of tracked dumpers made its debut at the Show. Ready to compete in a popular section of the UK market, the DT05 High Tip is 660mm wide and its 350kg payload skip can be raised on a scissor mechanism to provide a maximum discharge height of 1397mm. The machine can be powered by either a 6.5hp Honda petrol engine or a 6.6hp Yanmar diesel unit, with operating weights of 405 and 440kg respectively. Both variants have hydrostatic transmission and two speed ranges, with maximum travel speed in high range being 3.9km/h with the Honda engine, and 5.2km/h when the Yanmar is fitted. The operator walks behind or stands on the back of the machine, which is the smallest in the manufacturer’s new five model range, extending up to the 2500kg payload DT25 with a swivel seat. All are being produced for Wacker Neuson by Messersi in Italy, with special distinguishing features including more stylish engine covers and control panels.

GenSet goes large


Dominating GenSet’s stand was the largest model from the company’s new Tier 3 specification generators, which will eventually include versions with power outputs of 20, 30, 50, 70, 90 and 110kVA. They have been specifically developed for the hire industry.


The MG 110 SSP Rental model on show has a Perkins engine and a Stamford alternator. The machine is fully bunded and is designed to provide easy access for servicing. Fork lift pockets and a central lifting hook are incorporated for on-site mobility.

Stihl’s new TS 500i 14in cut-off saw with electronic fuel injection was highlighted on the manufacturer’s stand at the Show. Expected to be available from the summer, the two- stroke machine is designed for optimum fuel delivery and combustion. Stihl GB’s Marketing Manager, Sean Larter- Conway (pictured) says it gives higher torque over a wider speed range, with lower levels of vibration permitting eight hours of use in a working day. Emissions are also reduced.


The TS 500i can be attached to a wheeled cart for use as a floor saw, and the blade can be mounted on either side of the machine to facilitate use close to walls.


Stihl has also re-launched its BT 360 earth auger, a two-man machine that drills holes of up to 40cm diameter for post hole boring and fencing, as well as for taking soil samples. Each operator holds a large handlebar, one controlling the throttle to drive the engine speed, and the other controlling a stop switch. A second stop control is located in reach of the throttle operator, so that either user can shut down the machine.
