Executive Hire Show: Preview, Part 2

The 2020 Executive Hire Show takes place on February 5th and 6th at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. Part 1 of our event preview can be found here - and there are plenty more exhibitors showcasing new machines. Read on below to find out more…

JCB

JCB will show the fast charge version of its first ever fully electric mini excavator at the Executive Hire Show 2020. The 19C-1E can put in a typical full day’s shift for a mini excavator on a single charge – which takes just two hours with the fast charge option. JCB says its 19C-IE is five times quieter than its diesel counterpart, and that it’s ideal for emissions and noise-sensitive applications.

Key features of the 19C-1E electric mini excavator include: three or four lithium-ion battery packs providing a 15-20kWh storage capacity, load-sensing hydraulic system delivering powerful digging performance, a sophisticated battery management system ensuring full-shift availability. A convenient on-board charger with capability for both 110V (12 hour recharge) and 230V (8 hour charge) comes as standard. The fast charge option, allowing a full charge in under 2 hours, is also available. The 19C-1E will be joined by the larger JCB 86C-2 midi excavator which meets the forthcoming EU Stage V emissions regulations and benefits from a host of detail improvements, making the machine easier to maintain and to operate.

THWAITES

Visitors to the Thwaites stand will be amongst the first hirers to see the new ‘wide track’ design feature on the 1-tonne and 1.5-tonne compact dumper. Thwaites says that this enhancement will give operators even greater control, ensuring the wider front and rear axles provides additional stability on this highly utilised hire fleet dumper.

Further innovation has been applied to the six-tonne and nine-tonne dumpers, with a Spring Activated Hydraulic Release Handbrake, ensuring the brake automatically engages in the event of an engine stop. Should there be a need to initiate an emergency stop, proportional braking will ensure the dumper is brought to a smooth, safe standstill. Stage V engines are now fitted to all six-tonne and nine-tonne machines, giving the power and torque required to handle todays site conditions with a cleaner, more efficient and compliant engine.

TRACKED CARRIERS

Tracked Carriers will have a range of material carrying products on display which are all designed and manufactured at its established base in Essex. Tracked Carriers products are all-electric with zero emissions and have minimal service requirements. They have uses in countless industries including the general hire market, and a range of attachments help tailor the machines for specific uses when required.

The company’s most compact model, the Beaver 05.06, will also be on display which has a 500kg capacity and is only 600mm wide and 355mm high. Along with the other models in this range, the Beaver 05.06 is operated via fully proportional wireless remote control, and has the ability to carry loads up inclines as steep as 45 degrees.

WESTERN TYDENS

Western Tydens specialises in diesel engine safety equipment and has introduced a new range of spark arrestors, the NT New Technology – Advanced Flow Range. Designed specially to meet the requirements of the latest generations of low emission diesel engines. Western claims that this new range has much lower system flow resistance than conventional spark arrestor designs, enabling them to achieve the low back pressure requirements of high gas flow engines. At optimum flow rates, back pressure is approximately half that of other equivalent models. This smoother, less turbulent internal gas flow reduces the secondary noise generation often associated with spark arrestors making them much quieter across the power range.

YANMAR

Yanmar Compact Equipment Europe (CEE) will showcase its ViO17 mini excavator at this year’s Executive Hire Show. Yanmar says that the new machine is compact, efficient and productive and the ViO17 is a leader in its class. A true zero tail swing machine, neither the counterweight nor the upper frame exceeds the width of the crawlers, making the ViO17 perfectly suited to tight job sites. A variable undercarriage (950mm-1,280mm) maximises stability by adapting itself to the space available, while the permanently fixed, hinged blade extensions are easy to fold-out. Powered by a three-cylinder, 14hp Yanmar 3TNV70-XBV diesel engine, the next-generation engine also boasts reduced emissions, reduced noise, improved starting and meets the latest emissions compliance standards.
