Xpert offers Hinowa
Visiting the Executive Hire Show gave John Morrissey, MD of Xpert Hire & Sales of Naas, the perfect opportunity to touch base with exhibitor Access Platform Sales (APS). Xpert was recently appointed as sole Irish distributor for Hinowa tracked aerial platforms, compact dumpers and fork lifts. APS covers the UK. “Our technicians have completed full training with Hinowa,” said John Morrissey,
who is pictured (left) at the Show with APS’ Jim Daintith (centre) and Hinowa’s Davide Fracca, who was also in attendance. “We are particularly excited about the new GoldLift IIIS series of tracked lift platforms, including models with 14, 17, 19 and 23m working heights, which have onboard remote diagnostic capabilities. The lightweight tracked forklifts can be transported on a trailer and can be used on challenging terrain, while the versatile mini dumper line-up can be fitted with various attachments, from flat beds and mixers, to levelling blades and winches.”
Richmond Plant Hire to reach new heights
Staff from Richmond Plant Hire plan to raise money for Cancer Research UK by climbing to the top of Ben Nevis this Easter Sunday. “There are eight of us in total doing the climb, including six of us here and
two customers,” said Lee Panton, Hire Controller with Richmond Plant Hire, which has depots near Mansfield and Newark. “We will drive up to Scotland on 7 April, camp overnight and then set off early the next day.We estimate it will take six and a half hours to climb the 1344m to the top.” Lee completed a similar challenge several years ago on his own and
raised more than £1,000. Between them, the eight climbers aim to raise considerably
more.To pledge a donation, visit

First KFS vehicle for Brandon
During his visit to the Executive Hire Show, Brandon Hire Fleet & Logistics Manager, Steve Pensom, officially accepted a specially configured Plant & Go delivery truck on the KFS Special Vehicles stand. Brandon runs approximately 350 3.5 tonne delivery vehicles, and the KFS bodied Fiat Ducato 2.3 Euro 5 is the first it has purchased from the company. Steve, pictured (left) with KFS MD Ian Knight, said Brandon personnel first saw the potential of the vehicle at last year’s Show. A demonstrator was subsequently trialled by the company’s Plymouth depot and positive feedback led to the development of the vehicle, which has been bought for long term evaluation on a lease arrangement. Brandon has specified its low floor Plant & Go vehicle with a reduced 3750mm wheelbase, a full width hinge-down tailgate and a 1500kg capacity 12V Rule electric winch with a Dyneema
rope.The kerb weight of the vehicle is 1835kg and, with a 1580mm clearance between its rear wheel arches, it has a carrying capacity of 1.5 tonne.
