Beam Lifter Success The Hire Supply Company
(HSC) says that its new push- around beam lifter proved to be a
big hit at this year’s Executive Hire Show. The Muba Beam-Lifter has no cables and can
lift loads of up to 600kg to heights of up to 3m. When two machines are used in tandem, they can lift up to 900kg. Designed for internal use, the Beam-Lifter is only 800mm wide. HSC says it provides
excellent return on investment for hirers, due to its low purchase price, simplicity of use for the end user, and low
maintenance costs. To support hirers, HSC is giving away a free trade counter poster with every purchase, or a branded video and A4 leaflet design when two or more Beam-Lifters are purchased at once.

UK manufacturer Metal and Modular has achieved BS EN 1757-3:2002 for three of its trolleys: The Auto Brake Panel Trolley, the Auto Brake Load Trolley and the Auto Brake Ductwork Rack. The BS EN 1757-3:2002 standard governs industrial trucks, pedestrian- propelled trucks and platform trucks. The certification follows independent testing and site trials with tier one construction companies. All three trolleys feature Metal and Modular’s bespoke ‘deadman’s
brakes’ auto braking system, which requires both of the brake levers to be depressed in order to move the unit. Standard features include all-terrain wheels and castors from German world- leading castor manufacturer, Blickle. The Auto Brake
Panel Trolley has a load capacity of 1,000kg, while the Load Trolley has a 2,000kg capacity yet only weighs 140kg. The Ductwork Rack
includes a system for covering ductwork whilst it is being stored, aiding compliance with HVCA guidelines on the internal cleanliness of new ductwork prior to commissioning.

More Crawler Cranes
Maeda has launched two new crawler cranes. The CC423 replaces the well- known LC383, with improvements over the old model including an 850kg searcher hook and new 7-inch display monitor, as well as a Stage V engine. It is joined by the new CC1908, which offers an 8,100kg maximum
capacity and can pick and carry 3,500kg. It has a fully hydraulic luffing and extending fly jib, new 10-inch touchscreen monitor and surround view camera system. Maeda showed a prototype at Bauma 2019 and recently sold its first production model in the UK to Jones Crawler Cranes, based in Shaftesbury, Dorset. Maeda is represented in the UK by Kranlyft.

Dumper Range Grows
JCB is introducing front and swivel-tip 3-tonne capacity site dumpers, completing a line-up that runs from 1-tonne high-tip to 9-tonne forward-tip machines. The 3-tonne models benefit from user-friendly hydrostatic driveline and use the same all-steel construction as JCB’s larger models. A two-year manufacturer’s warranty is included as standard. The 3T-1 FT and 3T-1 ST models feature a dual centre-pin
articulation joint, with hydraulic hoses safely routed through the centre. JCB has improved service access on the machines, with a tilting seat base and an opening rear grille, putting regular maintenance items within easy reach from ground level. JCB’s 1-tonne capacity 1T-1 HT is also being updated to the 1T-2, incorporating a Stage V diesel engine. This compact machine now has a similar two-pin articulation joint to the 3-tonne models, along with the same heavy-duty, all-steel construction as its larger stablemates.
