Site dumpers are popular and useful bits of kit. But, like with any type of equipment, they need to be operated correctly and within their design parameters and rated payload.
Modern site dumpers, like the Ausa range which we sell, have a range of safety features and driver aids including seat belts and camera systems.

Kubota has announced the launch of the KX080-4a2 as the latest in its range of midi excavators. This new machine is capable of the same reliable performance as previous models but includes Kubota’s V3307 direct injection engine, which is now fully Stage-V compliant. The new model has a reduced engine RPM DPF re-gen, giving reduced noise levels, increased DPF re-gen intervals and increased DPF replacement life. This reduces maintenance costs and the machine’s environmental impact whilst enhancing productivity for a wide range of tasks. The KX080-4a2 incorporates a brand new 2-pump load-sensing hydraulic system which ensures smoother operations when using front attachments, regardless of loading size. By allowing hydraulic oil to flow according to the specific range of the operator’s lever motion, the new system reduces fuel consumption and improves the overall operating performance. The machine’s auto idling system is fitted as standard – reducing not only running costs but noise and exhaust emissions, enabling users to operate in a wider range of environments. What’s more, vital components such as the battery, fluid tanks and filters are now easier to access, making maintenance simpler than ever. Numerous safety features come as standard on the KX080-4a2; such as the auto-stop function on the tank’s electric refuelling pump, an anti-drop valve on the boom and arm cylinder, advanced visibility mirrors, a seat belt indicator and increased stability. The machine is protected by Kubota’s highly regarded anti-theft system, meaning only programmed keys will enable the engine to start up. Anyone attempting to start with an un-programmed key will activate the alarm. Newly enhanced features send an alert to remind the operator to extract the key after operation, and an LED to alert potential thieves that the system is activated. The updated excavator – which is a compact width of 2,200mm comes with a floating dozer blade fitted as standard. This model has been designed with improved operator comfort, including a more spacious cab, improved foot space, including a re-designed foot pedals and deluxe high-back suspension seat. The cab features an air conditioning unit and an easy-to-read LCD panel so users can monitor the machine’s status at all times. The machine can also be equipped with a two-piece boom. This feature’s user-friendly design makes operation simple whilst its innovative hydraulic mechanism enables smooth operation. Users benefit from expanded working range, impressive dumping range and the ability to operate in narrow spaces. Contact the Boss Sales team for more information here. THE BEST GENERATOR IN THE MARKETPLACE Initially, Boss Cabins created a generator called Redbox, it took the industry by storm and our customers were really happy with its performance. With Redbox users benefitted from longer service intervals, up to four times longer in fact, so they saved substantial costs on servicing the generator. Because Boss Cabins knew they could do better, they pushed further to create Redbox Infinity. With an innovative design, the Infinity generator uses oil and refills itself, resulting in service intervals every 2000 hours, that’s eight times what standard generators provide.

Michel Denis, Group President & CEO, and Jacqueline Himsworth, Chair of the Board of Directors, laid the first stone in the presence of a number of elected representatives. This factory fits in with a global investment plan and confirms the Group's ambitions in this market.
Work on the site, which is located in the Zone du Petit Tesseau in Candé (Maine-et-Loire), has begun just 3 km from the first platform factory. The manufacturer based in Ancenis, already represented by 5 production sites in the Grand-Ouest, further asserts its historical attachment to the region. This new industrial facility will allow the Group to respond to structural market growth in Europe and beyond, particularly in the United States, where the Group began distributing its products at the end of 2018. Sylvain André, Director of the current Candé site and future director of the new site, says: “The aerial work platform market constitutes a significant lever for growth for the Group, and is appealing to more and more rental companies, which account for the majority of our customers in this market. This will equip us with a modern factory dedicated to rough-terrain platforms, while the existing site will focus on industrial platforms. We therefore keep our expertise in the same region”.

Please send your CV and salary expectations to Bob Milthorpe BMilthorpe@bossplantsales.co.uk A BOMAG BMP 8500 with smooth drums sold by Boss Plant Sales to L Lynch Plant Hire is shown, working on a large project in the East Midlands, compacting stone.
These versatile machines, with smooth drums, have a number of advantages when working on asphalt or stone. The operator controls the machine remotely and so is not exposed to any harmful HAV. With the radio remote control everything is controlled from a safe distance enabling the compactor to get to the places where operators can’t get to or would rather not go! Plus if the operator does enter into the close vicinity of the machine, the 'BOMAG Operator Safety System' automatically shuts it down to prevent any potential accident. The 8500 has an operating weight of around 1.6 t and achieves outstanding compaction results on soil in trenches, sewers, on pipeline construction and with the smooth drum, on asphalt. And the operator knows when compaction is finished as the integrated BOMAG Economizer automatically determines compaction progress. Expensive reworking is no longer necessary and unnecessary passes and over compaction are also avoided, resulting in time savings of up to 25%. These machines are also economic in operation as the integrated ECOMODE system automatically adjusts engine power to demand reducing fuel consumption by up to 25%.
