EXECUTIVE HIRE SHOW REVIEW continued
Kohler-SDMO ready for the Stage
Kohler-SDMO highlighted the need for hirers and end users to be aware of the new EU Stage V emissions regulations. The company states that many hirers have been ordering Stage IIIa compliant generators to replace existing ones, but that when stocks are used up, by law only Stage V models can be supplied, with maintenance and cost implications. The manufacturer has developed a range of ‘rental ready’ models, including the 50kVA R50 C5
which was on display. Sales Director Dave Mallon believes demand for Stage V machines will be accelerated by the need for contractors to have appropriate equipment to meet the requirements of low-emission zones in London and other cities.
01606 838120 CESAR’s celebration
The 2.5-tonne TB225 mini excavator on Takeuchi’s stand Show was very special because it was the 300,000th machine to be registered on the Construction Equipment Association’s CESAR Scheme. This milestone was marked by Kevin Howells (left), MD of Datatag, presenting a commemorative plaque to Tomonori Tamaru, MD of Takeuchi Mfg (UK). The scheme helps deter machine theft by deploying multi-layered
technologies supplied by Datatag. These include uniquely numbered tamper-evident triangular ID plates, hidden RFID transponders, microscopic Datadots and a forensic DNA solution. Machine information is recorded on a secure database which is accessible to
Big reveal for small Cat
Dealer Finning provided the first reveal of |one of the ‘Next Generation’ Caterpillar compact excavators at a European exhibition. Now designed and made by Caterpillar, these new machines will progressively replace the current models that have been made for Caterpillar by Wacker Neuson in Austria. The machine on show was the 1.5-tonne
class 301.5 which has standard tail swing and is fitted with a canopy. Other models include the 301.6 (1.5-tonne class, standard tail
swing, with cab), the 301.7 CR (1.7-tonne class, compact radius, with canopy), the 301.8 (1.8-tonne class, standard tail swing, with either canopy or cab) and the 302 CR (2.0-tonne class, compact radius, with either canopy or cab). All models are available with a variable width undercarriage. These minis utilise a 14.3kW (19.2hp) Cat C1.1 three-cylinder diesel engine
designed to meet Stage V emission standards, and load-sensing hydraulics. An exclusive characteristic of these Next Generation models is the standard stick-steer system, which allows the operator to switch, at the touch of a button, from conventional lever/foot-pedal steering controls to left-hand joystick control.

the police round-the-clock, enabling them to identify machines of interest. Tomonori Tamaru said,
“The CESAR scheme has proven to be a massive success for plant security and anti-theft. Takeuchi adopted it right from the outset in 2007 and we continue to see the benefits of it.”

Bomag GB emphasised the operational advantages of its latest remote-controlled compactors. Big silver zero helium balloons above the machines highlighted the fact that they can be operated without any risk of HAV. Two models with
the combination cable/radio remote control were displayed. These were the Hatz- engined BPH 80/65S reversible hydraulic plate, which has a working width of 800mm and weighs 750kg, and the articulated BMP8500 sheep’s-foot compactor that is 610/850mm wide (depending on the drums fitted) and weighs 1,595kg.
