HireQuip have upgraded their light fleet with a number of Youngman Richardson and Co Ltd brands. New additions include Genie access equipment and a variety of concrete tools including Husqvarna concrete cutters and Maruzen hydraulic breakers along with a selection of Mikasa compaction equipment. “HireQuip is once more demonstrating its commitment to its customers by investing in high quality market leading equipment brands,” says Youngman Richardson and Co Ltd Sales and Marketing Director Ed Richardson.
The Genie rough terrain scissor models are designed for the hire industry. They’re made to stand up to the rigours of frequent use in diverse worksite conditions. HireQuip have recently become the first company in New Zealand and Australia to take delivery of the new model Genie GS3369RTO. This new 4-wheel drive vehicle with oscillation axle provides outstanding rough terrain capability. In addition it offers narrow access abilities, a slide-out platform extension and working heights of up to 11.90 metres.
The scissors are tough construction orientated 4-wheel drive machines with positive traction control and are ideal for increasing productivity in demanding outdoor worksites. Because time is money, the competitive lift speed and large platforms maximise handling requirement efficiencies and have the capacity to get to the jobsite quicker and finish working faster.
HireQuip has also acquired from Youngman Richardson and Co Ltd some Mazuren hydraulic breakers, which are very powerful machines and weigh in at just 21kg and come with a lightweight power pack that weighs only 44kg. Powered by a Subaru/Robin OHC OHV petrol engine, it can be transported, much like other light equipment from HireQuip, in the boot of a car or in the back of a ute rather than hassling with large towable units.
HireQuip have procured additional units of the latest Husqvarna K760.14, unmatched for its power to weight ratio. It also features a new air filtration system, a 14" blade capacity and an anti-vibe handle.
The range of Mikasa reversible plate compactors is ideally suited for the hire industry where these models are constantly in demand with civil engineering, construction and drainage contractors. Standard features include 150mm removable extension plates, a sturdy roll bar lifting frame and variable speed controls. The fold-up handle is perfect for HireQuip customers for both transportation and storage. Another product, the Mikasa MTX60 tramping rammer is powered by a 4-stroke engine so no fuel mixing is required. It also features anti vibration handle systems on the reversible compactors and rammers that reduce fatigue and enhance operator comfort.
The Mikasa MTX60 has outstanding compaction ability and balance and has a roller fitted to the handle for easy loading.
