EXECUTIVE HIRE SHOW REVIEW continued
Diamond’s Danish dumper
Having recently imported the Twinca Contractor ES800 from Denmark, new dealer Diamond Hire & Sales of Farnborough chose the Show to launch the machine to the UK market. The battery powered, pedestrian-controlled
high-tip dumper has a capacity of 800kg. Using a scissor-lift style mechanism, maximum discharge height is 1.4m. It has two drive wheels at the front and two rear non-powered
wheels that are steered by means of a control handle. The dumper’s Lithium-ion batteries can provide up to 14 hours running time after a six-hour charge. Diamond’s Simon Hughes, pictured with the machine, says it has already proved its hire potential after successfully putting five models into its own fleet.

www.diamondhiresales.co.uk Tracked Avant backhoe
As well highlighting the production version of its eco-friendly, battery powered e6 compact articulated wheel loader, Avant Tecno showed a 760i model with triangular rubber tracks produced by Slimbridge- based Moorend Ltd. Providing higher ground clearance and lower ground bearing pressure to cope better with difficult ground conditions,
it was displayed with a front-mounted 260 backhoe attachment, which can be operated with radio remote control to provide a more direct view of the excavation when carrying out utility work or operating in cemeteries. Avant also showed its new multi-function drive unit that can be fitted
with an angle adapter to allow the drive to be turned 90° to the left. It can power attachments such as a concrete mixing drum, log splitter and a screening drum.

New masted Manitou
Manitou made its name with rough terrain masted construction forklifts, and its latest product is a masted forklift designated the MC18-4, with a maximum capacity of 1.8 tonnes, which slots into the manufacturer’s range under its established MSI models. The newcomer has an operating weight of 3,562kg and it can be purchased with a variety of ‘total visibility’ duplex or free-lift triplex masts to provide lift heights from 3.3m to 5.5m. Seated inside the ROPS/FOPS Level 1 open sided cab, with a
panoramic glazed roof, the operator finds selectable, on-the-go, 2 or 4WD. The Kubota-powered, hydrostatic machine can be purchased with a standard or low-profile Buggy cab. With the latter, and a free-lift triplex mast, overall height can be less than 2.0m.

www.manitou.com Hamm highlights GAP orders
One hirer that has been ordering large numbers of Hamm lightweight tandem rollers from Wirtgen Ltd in recent years is GAP, and both the HD8 and HA12 models on the manufacturer’s stand carried the hirer’s distinctive decals. Hamm Sales Manager Julian Green (left) is pictured with GAP Group Operations Director Mark Anderson and Joint MDs Iain and Douglas Anderson.
The machines have drum widths of 800mm and 1200mm
respectively and their popularity, along with other Hamm models, results in Wirtgen claiming a 35-40% share of the UK tandem vibrating roller market. Aided by this success, Wirtgen will move to larger premises in Newark later this year.
