Robust Safety Lifting range
Safety Lifting Gear highlights the fact that the hire industry has lifting equipment requirements that are different from those of many other markets, as items have to be portable, robust, compact and lightweight with low maintenance costs, while being capable of lifting heavy loads. The company has developed a range of portable lightweight
aluminium gantries which are designed to offer flexibility, with adjustable height and beams in various lengths. These are complemented by Elephant ‘super lightweight’ chain hoists which are claimed to be 20% lighter on average than many other blocks, and are designed for heavy industrial use. A new introduction is a range of Guil Toro lifters that
can be configured as standard material lifts or quickly adapted for use as counterbalance lifters for handling items like glass panels.
A selection of accessories, such as jib arms and pipe cradles, are available, and the company says this means hirers do not need to stock a large number of different counterbalance lifts. Also in the line-up is the RoadCrew battery chain hoist for work in areas without a power supply.

Alide’s dozen Slanetrac dumpers
Bristol-based Alide Hire Services has taken delivery of twelve Slanetrac HT1000 1-tonne high-tip tracked dumpers after placing an order at the Executive Hire Show. Pictured receiving the new units is Alide’s Steve Kay, left, with Gary Wingrove from Coppard Equipment Sales, Slanetrac’s UK importer and distributor. Alide has chosen versions fitted with Honda petrol engines. The machine can
also be supplied with a water-cooled diesel power unit. Slanetrac has developed an automatic engine cut-out system that is designed to activate if the dumper should roll over. The HT1000 is available as standard with a width of 750mm, and a 700mm-wide variant is also offered.
Compact JCB loader
Suitable for larger lifting and shifting tasks, JCB’s newly re-designed 403 compact articulated wheeled loader has a 26kW Kubota engine and a two-range hydrostatic drive line giving a choice of 12.5mph or 18.5mph top speeds. The 2.5-tonne machine has an inching control which is
operated by the brake pedal, designed to enable the user to draw on the loader’s hydraulic power to break out and lift materials without causing unnecessary wear to the braking system and transmission. On the move, power and torque are channelled through ZF axles with open differentials, or optional manually-operated differential locks front and rear for use in difficult ground conditions. The machine is less than 2.2m tall and only 1.1m
wide, when fitted with narrow tyres, facilitating access in confined areas. It comes as standard with loader arms that provide a load-over height of 2.6m but, to aid loading into high-sided bins or trailers, there is also a 2.8m lift height option.

Seddons’ Scottish success
Campbell Plant Hire of Inverness has purchased a number of Honda TD650 powered barrows from Seddons to meet demand for machinery for work in confined spaces. The hirer’s Mark Campbell said, “The TD650 is a highly utilised piece of
equipment, especially by landscaping companies, as its low ground pressure means there is no damage to grass during work. Its narrow width also ensures it can fit through standard gateways. “A number of larger organisations also hire the machine. It is being used for
work at one of Scotland’s largest civil engineering projects in recent years, the £140m Glendoe Hydro Scheme in the hills above Loch Ness. The TD650 offers excellent traction across challenging terrain, giving the flexibility to move large loads quickly and easily.”
