CPA will be exciting - you can find us in our new location on stand H20, and we’ll be pleased to meet you and talk through the projects we are working on in 2019. There looks set to be plenty of new machines and products on display for visitors. Early indications of the product launches planned for the show suggest that suppliers are working to help improve efficiency, safety and productivity for hirers. The Executive Hire Show is taking place on the 6th and 7th February 2019 at its established home at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry . The team has reported that the show is officially sold out. Many of the exhibitors have chosen to increase their stand space including, UK Caterpillar dealer Finning and access equipment manufacturer Snorkel UK . Armorgard Security Products have doubled the size of their plot. The show is also delighted to welcome excavator manufacturer Takeuchi back to the show after a two-year absence and construction machinery manufacturer Mecalac will also return. It would certainly seem that the hire industry has not been distracted by Brexit and is moving forward confidently regardless. New exhibitors include excavator attachment manufacturer Geith , mini dumper manufacturer Muck Truck, GeoRipper mini trencher distributor Four Ashes Machinery , mini excavator manufacturer and Powerfab . Also making their show debuts are access platform companies, Bravi Platforms, Access Platform Sales and Cannon Access . A full exhibitor list can be found online at www.executivehireshow.co.uk Now in its 13th year, the event organisers felt that the show needed a whole new look to refresh and reinvigorate it for exhibitors and visitors, so a complete redesign has been undertaken with a completely new layout. Executive Hire Show Director Craig Donovan reported, “We wanted to ‘refresh’ the show and move it forward. The Ricoh has become the ‘home of hire’ being such a convenient venue for visitors to get to. Therefore, as a team and working with our exhibitors, we have completely redesigned the show! The exhibitors have all moved stand location which has created a whole new look.” For the 2019 event visitors can expect to see once again ‘The Innovation Trail - Live!’ where selected Innovation Trail products, which are considered to be particularly outstanding, will be exhibited on an elevated stage area in Hall 2. Paul Hutton, a radio, podcast and YouTube channel presenter, will be hosting the event and will interview each company’s representative live on the stage. New products have always been at the heart of the Executive Hire Show and it’s the place where visitors get to see new potential profit earners and take advantage of show only deals - which makes the show an even better prospect for visitors. Here’s a selection of what hirers can expect to see on display at the Executive Hire Show 2019. Takeuchi is back at the show with a new towable mini. The new Takeuchi TB225 2.25 tonne mini machine is ideal for tool hire companies looking for a towable mini that sits safely within trailer towing limits. The machine was specifically designed to meet the growing demand by hire companies who wanted a heavier Takeuchi within trailer towing weight. Available in both cab and canopy, it powers in just under 2400kg cab or 2265kg canopy with plenty of room for extras in the trailer. The machine also comes with an integrated trailer tie-down. The TB225 comes with 16.5kW of power, 19.3kN of digging force and breakout of 12.8kN; bringing it close to a 3-tonne mini in power capacity. Compact in size with expandable tracks taking the machine from a very narrow 1100mm up to 1500mm for maximum access in narrow areas with added stability when digging deep. The TB225 features joystick proportional control. Molson Compact Equipment will be bringing models from their Kobelco mini excavator line to the show. This will be the first time Kobelco machinery will have been shown at the Executive Hire Show. Joining Ammann Compaction Equipment , a Dieci Apollo telehandler and a Cormidi tracked dumper, on the Molson Compact Equipment stand will be the Kobelco: SK10SR-2 (1,065 kg), SK17SR-3 and the SK28SR-6 (2,950 kg). The Kobelco SK17SR-3 is a compact, yet tough mini excavator. Available as a canopy (1,555 kg) or cab (1,655 kg) version, these machines are commonly found working on sites where space is restricted, such as residential, landscaping and industrial works.
