Where Komatsu, Metso and the world of McHale Plant Sales will be on exhibition

At the forthcoming Irish Construction Exhibition taking place in Punchestown in May, McHale Plant Sales will open a window on the world of Komatsu and Metso in what their marketing manager, Sean Ryan says: “will be one of the most exciting lineups of construction equipment we have ever put on exhibition”.

The expansion that has been taking place at McHale Plant Sales in recent years – not just in Ireland but across the Irish Sea in England, Scotland and Wales resulting from their appointment in 2023 as UK distributor of Metso crushers – will be reflected in large measure in their exhibit.

As distributors of Komatsu construction plant and equipment and Komatsu forest harvesting equipment, the Birdhill, Co. Tipperary and Rathcoole-based company enjoys a close relationship with most of Ireland’s leading contractors – in civil works, construction, and infrastructure development – and in the forests of Ireland, north and south, which are now making such an important contribution in capturing CO2 emissions whilst helping to achieve our net-zero targets.

Flag bearers in Ireland, Northern Ireland and across the UK for Finland’s acclaimed Metso stone crushers favoured by quarry owners and aggregates producers across the globe – McHale Plant Sales has the favoured position of having been the first European distributors chosen by Metso to receive their gold standard award and a recipient also for an award for marketing.

Depending on ground surface conditions at Punchestown, the McHale Plant Sales team hopes to exhibit some of the heaviest and most impressive units from their Komatsu and Metso portfolios, including also units from the Irish-made, MDS trommel range – bespoke units that are building an enviable reputation both in home and export markets.

On Komatsu front, it is likely that their latest PC228 and a PC138 excavators will have pride of place. With them will be units from their micro-mini-midi diggers range favoured by utilities contractors and leading equipment rental outlets across the country.

There too on the McHale Plant Sales stand also will be units from Komatsu’s latest skid-steer range machines, equipment that their marketing manager, Sean Ryan says: “embody all of the knowledge, technology, and operational effectiveness that Komatsu could introduce in machines of this design and calibre”.

Mindful that roads to the Irish Construction Exhibition will likely be crammed, not just with construction and civil works ‘afficionados’ and major corporates, but with Komatsu users and a host of others, the advice from Sean Ryan is: “invest sufficient time to see all that McHale Plant Sales has to offer”.

Calling out to agricultural and forestry contractors, plant hire specialists, utilities services providers, and plant and machinery fans from all walks of life – including those diorama builders who fascinate themselves by constructing table-top displays of real-life worksites – Sean Ryan and McHale Plant Sales is filling their exhibit with what they say will be: “as wide a choice of exhibits as ground conditions and display space will allow”.

Summing it up, Sean Ryan said: “in addition to the warm welcome that will await visitors to the McHale Plant Stand will be a selection of the very latest and most popular units from Komatsu and Metso, two of the world’s leading construction plant and equipment manufacturers”.

“In addition to the enjoyment and welcome visitors to our McHale Plant Sales exhibit can expect, space and ground conditions permitting, we hope also to include in our display a Komatsu forest harvester and, hopefully, a tracked dump truck or forest mulcher from our recently-acquired Prinoth range,” Ryan added.
