EXECUTIVE HIRE SHOW REVIEW continued


Hats on for Epiroc


Following the decision last year by the Atlas Copco Group to split the business into two


companies, the new Epiroc brand was officially unveiled to the UK hire industry at the Show. Now what were previously Atlas Copco hydraulic breakers, hydraulic demolition attachments, vibratory plate compactor attachments and drum cutters will carry the Epiroc name. As we reported in our January/February issue, the new company, trading as


Epiroc UK & Ireland Ltd, will sell products made by what were Atlas Copco factories in Germany and Sweden. Products on display included the DC200 drum cutter, the HC450 plate compactor and the SB102 and SB202 hydraulic breaker attachments. Members of the Epiroc team at the Show were happily wearing Epiroc hats, boldly marked HAT, to draw attention to the new name and focus as a Hydraulic Attachment Tools supplier.

At the Show, Pramac UK and Generac Mobile Products unveiled its new corporate brand structure, to be known as Pramac-Generac UK. This will be reflected across the UK company internally and externally, but will retain the current core individual product brands, including Lifter, Pramac power generation and Generac-Towerlight. MD David Oates said, “2017 has been a strong year for us and


these are exciting times as we look forward to continue to build on our market presence across lighting, power generation and mobile products. We are very excited about this and our customers should be too, as we introduced more new machines.” Pramac-


Generac UK had two separate stands in Hall 1, one showing core


products such as Pramac P Series portable generators, Towerlight machines, Lifter materials handling equipment and DF Smart dust suppression systems. The other concentrated on developments in sustainable innovation, including the new eco-friendly CUBE+ Next, a dimmable, battery powered lighting tower which offers up to 200 hours of operation per charge and is available in 150W and 300W and lamp configurations.


49 Also on show was the new


Pramac P18000 CombHy hybrid generator, which is available with remote management, and a Stage V engine from Perkins designed in readiness for the new EU emission standards that comes into force from 2019 for non-road equipment with diesel engines.

www.pramac.com www.towerlight.co.uk Show debut for Mecalac


Making the short journey to the Show from its nearby Coventry factory, Mecalac showed two former Terex compact machines. Situated outside the north entrance to the Ricoh Arena were a TA3 SH 3.0 tonne swivel-skip dumper and the popular MBR-71 single drum roller breaker, now both carrying ‘big M’ Mecalac livery. Since taking over the Terex site dumper line, Mecalac


has added the option of a Sensorvision hazard detection radar system from Vision Techniques for its 6 to 10 tonne models. It will shortly offer a camera and other driver protection features.
