The Particulator has been tested on a machine by an independent automotive emissions test laboratory and was found to give greater than a 99.9% reduction in particulate, as well as having a regeneration cycle that cleaned the filter effectively. It has also been extensively used in the field to demonstrate its effectiveness in improving air quality as well as its durability and ease of use. Also new to the show is Elite GSS . The company actively looks to improve all-round sustainability when developing their products, and many can be recycled to reduce carbon footprint on-site. The Temporary Access and Ground Protection Mats are a perfect example, whilst being extremely durable and able to withstand hefty weights in tough and adverse weather conditions. Unlike conventional and unsafe methods used in the building trade to date, new exhibitor Prop Pal will be showing the Prop Pal needle which is designed so that a builder’s prop location into the needle is locked in position once it has been wound up. At the other end the swivel plate has four holes where it can be fixed to the floorboards, securing it in position. Prop Pal has been dubbed as ‘The Game Changer’ delivering on quality, robustness, innovation and versatility. Prop Pal will be officially launching a new longer needle titled ‘Prop Pal Plus’ aka ‘PPS1800’ at the show - which is a longer needle (1800mm) in length with a safe working load of 1050kg. Welfare cabin manufacturer, Genquip Groundhog has not missed a show yet - the company is back once again in 2022 launching two brand new ‘eco’ products at the show. Sales and Marketing Manager Peter Beach said: “Our future lies in sustainable and environmental friendly products. Our commitment to a Carbon Energy plan as well as producing easy to use, robust and sustainable products means we have the product range that meets the ever increasing demands of today’s UK hire market.” Taking centre stage on the Genquip Groundhog stand will be the brand new static welfare unit, the Groundhog I.760. Alongside the I.760 will be the Groundhog Solar Loo. This fuel-free, solar powered unisex toilet is designed for use on construction sites. Pinnacle Platforms , the authorised GB distributor for Sinoboom Aerial Work Platforms, will be showcasing the Sinoboom 1330SE, an all-electric, virtually silent, 19’ (5.8m) max working height 880kg Scissor Lift. The machine is powered by the very latest 12v x 2/11 5Ah 24DC lead acid, AGM, maintenance free, short charge, long run, dry cell batteries, replacing wet lithium batteries that require daily levels of maintenance and high levels of charge. Developed for enhanced operator safety Husqvarna introduces the K770 SmartGuard and K970 SmartGuard. The company said: “SmartGuard is an extended blade guard design which reduces the likelihood of accidents and circumstances when a kickback may occur as it emphasises correct technique and correct cutting zone.” Trime is planning to display battery/ hybrid, solar-only, battery-only and plug-in lighting towers, each already proving to be very popular with the UK and Ireland hire markets. Taking centre-stage on stand C40 will be Trime’s X-ECO LITHIUM HYBRID tower light. Also on display will be the Trime X-SOLAR HYBRID LED. This is a lighting tower that is powered by a combination of solar energy, battery power, backed-up by an ‘eco- efficient’ engine driven battery charging system to ensure continual operation.
