McHale Plant Sales adds new models to range
Encouraged by predictions that construction activity here could grow by an estimated 15% in the current year, Komatsu distributor McHale Plant Sales has boosted its model offering with the introduction here of a number of recently launched newcomers. Amongst its new arrivals is a Komatsu D71-24 dozer, an addition to its dozer range whose key features are its improved visibility, low ground pressure, and intelligent machine capability.
Also new is the 122hp Komatsu PW158-11 wheeled excavator with its 0.94-cubic-metre bucket capacity, 5.99m digging depth and 15- to 18.2-tonne operating weight. Another new arrival, first of which will soon go into operation with Kilsaran Concrete at their Tipperary plant, is the 273hp WA470-8 wheel loader and a PC700LC-11 crawler excavator which the company has assigned to its Gallstown, Dunleer facility.
Other newcomers are the PC290LCi-11 intelligent machine control excavator and its PC360LCi-11 stablemate, and the WA475 wheel loader first seen when it was the focus of an impressive trade launch at Le Mans some time ago. Away from construction plant, other newcomers in the McHale Plant Sales portfolio are a Terex Ecotec model TFS 390 single shaft shredder, soon to go one demonstration, and a TTS 518 Trommel Screen from the same manufacturer. Adding to their growing appeal amongst farmers and agricultural contractors is a new soon-to-arrive Merlo TF65.9 Turbofarmer about which more will be said when it hits our shores in June.
