EXECUTIVE HIRE SHOW REVIEW


New launches included the Adder 35 wire feeder.


Morris makes six


Visitors were able to see a host of new products from Morris Site Machinery at the Show, designed for economy and efficiency.


Morris Site Machinery has continued its impressive programme of new product development, having launched no fewer than six new machines and derivative models during the last six months. Its latest introductions were unveiled on the company’s stand at the Show.


Last autumn, Morris unveiled the Halo anti-glare lamp head, which was included on the Innovation Trail at this year’s Show. Made from a tough plastic similar to the material used for road cones, it has four 300W LED quadrants and a diffuser to give an even spread of light at sites like railways, airports and quarries.


The gaps in between the segments are to accommodate Hiab straps for loading and unloading, but the company has now introduced a smaller, enclosed version for applications where this facility is not required. It was displayed on another new product, the SMC TL60 Trolley light which has been developed for deployment by a single operator and has four 300W LED lamps. The company says that up to 30 units can be loaded onto a Euro trailer for efficient transportation.


needed, and PIR (passive infra-red) sensors are incorporated so that, if no motion is detected in the immediate area for two minutes, the lamps are dimmed automatically to half power to save energy. This also enables us to fit four 60W LED lamps on the machine, as usable battery life is extended.”


New lighting product number six is the SMC SL80 Pallet light, a static tower with an 8m mast. “It supersedes our SL90 and is significantly more compact, having the footprint of a standard pallet which enables up to 22 units to be loaded onto a Euro trailer,” said Chris Morris. “It is a tribute to the design and development team at our SMC factory in Gosberton, Lincolnshire. The machine has four 300W LED lamps and is available with Kubota or Perkins diesel engine options.”

“We have also developed two variants of the TL60, namely road-tow and skid-mounted versions, with the latter being a highly affordable, transportable option,” CEO Chris Morris told EHN. “The TL60 fits at the Value end of the three-tier product range we have introduced, offering Ultimate, Standard and Value propositions across our main product categories.


The environmentally friendly TL55 Battery.


“New also at the Show is our SMC TL55 Battery tower, to meet demand for silent, non-combustion solutions. It can be run for up to 110 hours before recharging is

Morris has expanded its ArcGen welding equipment portfolio. At last year’s Show, it introduced the Cobra 500i multi-process inverter, in its Standard equipment tier, and now it has launched the Adder 35 wire feeder. This is designed to work in conjunction with the range of ArcGen inverter and diesel welder-based power sources. For environmental protection, components are housed in a zinc-coated chassis and it incorporates a four-roll wire drive system with electronic feedback for accuracy and stability.


Sales Director Richard Denholm says, “The Adder enables us to offer a complete welding package with MIG capability on both CC and CV (constant current and constant voltage) modes, making us a one-stop shop. We can also supply a ‘six-pack’ frame that can house multiple power sources for intensive applications in construction, petrochemical installations and shipbuilding. Six welders can be powered from one three-phase generator, and the frame also provides 110V AC power for lighting, power tools and equipment.”


According to Chris Morris, we can expect more new unveilings. “Our new product development programme has progressed even more quickly than we anticipated, and we have taken on more people for our design team to match this growth.”
