Hire company expands dumper fleet with major Mecalac order

IRISH plant and tool hire company Laois Hire has snapped up 34 new Mecalac site dumpers.

The Portlaoise-based business, which was founded in 1992, has placed an order comprising a mix of both ROPS and cabbed models, purchased through Embankment Machinery Sales (EMS) in Naas, Co. Kildare.

Seamus Flynn, sales director of EMS, said, “EMS and Mecalac are delighted to continue to be the dealer and manufacturer of choice by Laois Hire for their site dumper requirements. Laois Hire has one of the most modern and comprehensive fleets of new Mecalac site dumpers in the country, embracing the full model range (from one tonne right through to nine tonne).

“Laois Hire has also invested heavily in the Mecalac 6MDX and 9MDX models, with full factory fitted cabs, that offer the very latest in comfort and safety to their customers. EMS and Mecalac look forward to continuing our mutually successful journey with Laois Hire as the company continues on its rapid and exciting growth trajectory.”

Michael Killeen, MD of Laois Hire Group, added, “When considering an investment of this scale, we look to our customers and what their needs are. We want to provide them with the innovative solutions they need to safely and effectively carry out their work on site. We only invest in high quality equipment, and our recent purchase of Mecalac products is reflective of that.

“These dumpers are top of the range and apart from rating highly from a performance and comfort point of view, they are designed with safety in mind, which is a key priority for us. We place a lot of emphasis on health & safety within our own operations and want to ensure that the equipment we are providing for our customers measures up to a high standard also.”
