You’ll get a full day’s work from a single charge with the newly announced KC70H-4e electric compact tracked dumper.

This powerful and versatile performer is capable of shifting up to 700kg in a single load. Yet, the electric motor makes it both clean and quiet for both the operator and any near neighbours onsite.

ALL DAY POWER
A large 48V 120Ah lithium battery stores enough power to keep you working all day. The battery can be charged rapidly too, gaining 80% charge in just 1.5 hours.

BUILT-IN VERSATILITY
Compact, lightweight with zero emissions, ideal for indoor or low emission zone sites

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
Long lasting, rapid charging battery for a full day non-stop working. Zero maintenance needed for motor, battery and inverter.

EASY CONTROL
Simple lever controls for easy use.

SAFETY FIRST
Built-in safety features conform with EN474-1 and EN474-6.

Kubota has just announced a new LPG powered mini-excavator enabling you to enjoy all the benefits of a clean and quiet LPG engine as well as all the comfort and performance you need in a powerful, reliable, low maintenance mini-excavator. This new model is ideal for remote places, locations with restricted access, and for working in low emission zones.

CLEAN POWER
Powered by Kubota’s stage 5 compliant WG972 -L-E4 spark ignition engine delivering high levels of productivity, low emissions, lower noise levels, and far less toxicity than petrol or diesel. Emissions are just 5% of a diesel or petrol engine for cleaner performance.  A single tankful of LPG is enough for a full day’s work, depending on the working environment. Refuelling is quick and easy using standard equipment and gas bottles.

ADAPTABLE HYDRAULICS
An auxiliary circuit comes as standard, with easy control of proportional, constant, and maximum oil flow settings.

SUPREMELY VERSATILE
The track width is variable for easy access through spaces less than a metre wide, while still providing a stable platform delivering up to 2.5m digging depth.

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
Kubota’s new propane engine has no DPF filter to clean or replace, no need for combustion regeneration, less strain on the engine, and reduced engine maintenance to minimise downtime.

ENVIABLE COMFORT
A wide door makes entry and exit easy, while the flat floor, ample legroom, and adjustable suspension seating in a large cab make even long shifts comfortable. The Kubota Intelligent Control System’s digital panel is also easy to use.
​
SAFETY FIRST
ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure), TOPS (Tip-Over Protective Structure) and OPG (Operator Protective Guard) Level 1. A hard cover protects the onboard LPG tank from exposure to sunlight or contact with other objects.
 

Our industry is not alone in suffering a shortage of new products.

All our market leading brands, including Kubota, Manitou, Bomag and Ausa, are regularly delivering new products to us. However, the vast majority of machines which arrive in our yard are already sold.

We have little or no 'free-stock'!

There are a number of reasons for this:

• The COVID pandemic has disrupted supply chains worldwide, and ours is a global business. There is a general shortage of raw materials and the specialist components, which our manufacturers rely on, hydraulic components for example.
• COVID has also impacted on employees and their families leading to a shortage of key workers at home and abroad. HGV drivers being a case in point.
• Demand for construction in equipment is high in all developed markets not least in the UK. The CEA, the manufacturer's association issued the following report.
• "Retail sales of construction and earthmoving equipment showed further strong growth in June and were 75% ahead of the levels seen in the same month last year when sales were still recovering from the impact of the first lockdown. As a result, sales in Q2 were more than double the levels seen last year and reached over 10,000 units during the quarter. For the first half of the year, sales were over 18,000 units, and are 73% ahead of the levels seen in the first half of last year."

​​

The bottom line is that if you're considering investing in premium construction equipment in the next 6-9 months PLEASE START TALKING TO US NOW!

To be fare to all our valued customers we have to operate on a 'first come, first served basis. And we are already holding many orders for early 2022 delivery.

And so to reiterate our 'heads-up', PLEASE START TALKING TO US NOW!

Leading construction machinery manufacturer Kubota is donating €200,000 to the flood-stricken Rhineland-Palatinate region in western Germany.

The area was subject to devastating flashfloods in July, after unprecedented levels of rainfall caused the Rhine to burst its banks. The flooding claimed more than 100 lives and causes millions of Euros worth of damage to towns and cities throughout the state.

Kubota employs more than 600 people in the region via its facility in the town of Zweibrücken, with company president Mikio Taguchi compelled to action after seeing images of the flooding online. 

Having witnessed the impact of natural disasters in his home country of Japan, Taguchi spearheaded the donation of €200,000 to the region’s state treasury, saying: “Because I am a neighbour, I have to help.”
​
The donation will go towards those impacted by the flooding, with clear-up and rebuilding efforts currently underway throughout the region. 

Manitou introduced new exciting products to the UK trade press and their UK dealer network this week

The new models extend Manitou's already comprehensive range of construction telehandlers and rotating telehandlers.

In summary Manitou launched 2 compact 3 tonne payload construction telehandlers, the MT 730H (shown in the image below) and 930H with 7m and 9m lift heights respectively. These models have the ability to drive through a gap or doorway just 2 metres wide and 2 metres high and a completely new range of stunning MRT rotating telehandlers with improved performance envelopes and many new features which further improve safety, performance, serviceability and reduce operating costs.

The new MT 730H and 930H achieve their  7m and 9m lift heights with 2 and 3 stage booms respectively. Despite their compact dimensions both models have spacious cabs with excellent all-round visibility, intuitive controls and clear instrumentation. Both models are powered by an economic and reliable 54.6kW Kubota Stage 5 engine.

If you're interested in these new models talk to us ASAP as interest is already high! Contact the team here.

The new remote control unit now allows the operator to reposition the machine remotely as shown in the video!
