we have now considered a specialist multifunctional snow blower.”
Multi-purpose maintenance
The Multihog MH90 is a multi-purpose maintenance vehicle which enables organisations to deliver a lean approach to conventional operations because of its adaptability for all situations. The core idea is to maximise customer value whilst minimising waste, simply creating more value for customers with fewer resources.
Mazurke was fi rst impressed by the productivity of the machine when the council initially looked at the Multihog and road planer attachment for the council’s permanent road repair scheme earlier this year.
The road registered Multihog is not only faster, safer and more effi cient in many standard practices it undertakes, but its versatility enables the end-user the ability for all-seasonal utilisation. This in turn produces a variety of operational benefi ts as well as reducing overall costs.
Because of this the Multihog is also likely to be re-considered for its road planing ability next time round, on hot rolled asphalt road routes, when the Tour de France 2014 travels through the Bradford district next July.
WINTER MAINTENANCE 19DECEMBER 2013
Mazurke’s experiences at Bradford Metropolitan District Council highlight three important points: fi rstly, the unpredictability of winter, secondly, the severe impact it can have, and fi nally, the necessity of adaptability of resources.
From these experiences over the last winter, the council can now be equipped because of the highway maintenance section’s ability to utilise existing resources effectively for future scenarios (from originally road planing to potentially snow blowing with the aid of the Multihog and snow blower attachment).
Andy Johnston, operations manager at West Lothian Council, already has two Multihogs with snow blowers in his arsenal. He said: “The Multihogs’ initial performance leaves us in no doubt that we are well equipped for effi cient clearance should the snow return.”
Last year the Met Offi ce reported temperatures as low as -15.6°C in Lincolnshire as well as 16cm of snowfall in North Yorkshire and Herefordshire underlining the unpredictability of winter. Because of the increasing adaptability of resources within West Yorkshire or West Lothian both can be confi dent about any reoccurrence of severe snow.
