Hire Update
Beat The CapEx With Rental! Castle Rent Launches New Rental On-Line Service CastleRent, which is owned by Castle Group Ltd, has launched its all-new on-line equipment hire service. Dedicated to test and measurement instrumentation,
this new website offers a wide range of products from numerous manufacturers and covering subjects from airflow to weighing scales and anemometers to vibration meters. Simon Bull, managing director of Castle Group said, “Rental is more and more
of a desired option these days with capital budgets being squeezed from all directions in the face of work that still needs to be done! We are delighted with the response to our new site and are pleased that we can offer such an extended range of equipment. People who hire equipment from us tend to come back time and time again, so there must be something in it!” Renting equipment for a short duration has clear advantages in cost saving,
flexibility and maintenance, but there are also advantages to be had in long term rental schemes with no calibration and maintenance charges, no liability for the ownership of capital equipment and a tax advantage in writing off all of a rental as opposed to only a proportion of a capital purchase value. On-line you will also find details of time-based
discounts, free seminars, purchase options and an ease of use guide for each product. You can also use CastleRent for a ‘try before you buy’ option which allows you to get your rental back if you go on to purchase the equipment afterwards.

New Duck On The Ditch South Holland Internal Drainage Board (S.H.I.D.B.) based in Holbeach Lincolnshire has taken delivery of a new Volvo EW160D wheeled excavator primarily for weed cutting duties across its 40000 hectare remit. Replacing a Volvo EW140B model, the larger EW160D was chosen thanks to
the good reliability of the older machine and indeed the three other EC210C crawler excavators in SHIDB’s plant fleet, good service back up and the overall package on the table. “We felt the fourteen tonne machine was working on its limit much of the time so we decided to opt for the larger model to give better stability, more power and most importantly additional reach,” says SHIDB’s Operations Manager Andy Price. “The offer on the table from Volvo was attractive as well – not least the extended driveline warranty and the prospect of a good resale value.” The new Volvo EW160D has been supplied with a two piece boom and the
longest dipper arm available measuring 3.1metres. This combination gives the operator a versatile digging radius ideally suited to the ditch cleaning operations undertaken by the Board. Maximum reach is a generous 9.91 metres and the equipment can be angled to almost vertical offering a max dig depth of 6.25 metres. Additional hydraulics have been provided on this machine to enable SHIDB to add an extension piece to the standard dipper arm where ultra-long reach is required. Other features on the machine include 620/40R Alliance super single tyres for added stability, an additional 250 litre fuel tank which combined with the standard tank capacity gives a working range of six working days, a Volvo installed automatic greasing system and a tow bar fitted to the blade so the machine’s attachments can be uncoupled from the hydraulic quick hitch and towed behind the machine on a bespoke trailer.

Sweeping All Before Them Broadwood International has introduced two new models in the BroomEx professional series of hydraulic push brooms. The BroomEx PH-100 and PH-120 are ideal machines for contractors and professionals requiring a heavy duty workhorse. With Honda power they cover up to 4,900 and 5,800 square metres per hour respectively and the drive is hydraulic variable speed, including reverse. For professionals looking for a hydraulic model the PH-100 and PH-120 offer 100cm and 120cm working widths. The variable brush speed is operated from the working position and the handlebars are seven stage height adjustable with variable multi-function hand levers for maximum control. These are the fastest of the BroomEx pedestrian sweepers. There is a wide range of accessories available for the new models, from collector boxes to snow blades and chains, to a leaf pusher and heavy-duty bristles. Anyone looking to clear up in tight spaces or needing a sweeper for general
groundscare and municipal areas will benefit from the Wessex Country RSS rotary sweepers. These are designed for front mounting on compact tractors and out- front power units, powered by a positive PTO drive system. The hydraulically driven RSE is another option for tractors of 50hp upwards and is designed specifically for use in groundscare and agriculture.
