The arrival of 50 new Hitachi Dash 6 excavators means that 70% of M O鈥橞rien Plant Hire鈥檚 fleet is now compliant with EU Stage IV emissions regulations. It aims to reach 90% compliance before the end of 2018.
The Hitachi order consists of 12 each of the ZX130-6 and ZX210-6 excavators, 10 each of the ZX135-6 and ZX225-6 zero tail swing excavators and six ZX170W-6 wheeled excavators.
Cat dealer Finning UK & Ireland has also shipped to M O鈥橞rien Plant Hire ten 308E2 excavators, three 962M wheeled loaders, four 730C2 articulated trucks and a D6T LGP dozer. These have been supplied with Cat鈥檚 Product Link GPS monitoring technology.
Director Connor O鈥橞rien said of the Cats: 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to us that we have high quality equipment in our fleet and the right type of units available to our customers. Having had positive feedback from the first units that arrived, we were confident in our investment and decision to continue the expansion to 18 units.
鈥淲e chose these machines in particular for their renowned reliability, fuel burn and technology. We now have what is seen to be the most up to date machines in our fleet, having the best residual value in the market place.鈥�
