INNOVATIVE plant hire company, Jarvie Plant, is helping contractors reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on capability, by introducing the first fully electric rotating telehandler to customers across Scotland.
Founded in 1960 and family-owned, Jarvie Plant is a market leader in the provision of high-quality, value-added plant, accommodation and vehicle hire solutions.
Enjoying a long history of partnering with companies across the construction and industrial sectors, and with depots stretching from Nairn to Manchester, Jarvie Plant is a trusted name all over the country.
A vision for sustainable plant hire
With Scotland’s target of becoming net-zero by 2045 now firmly on the horizon, Jarvie Plant has a vision to deliver sustainable plant hire, and is heavily investing in delivering innovative solutions for customers who need to meet their ESG goals.
Exclusively available in Scotland from Jarvie Plant – and one of only two in the UK – the Manitou MRT 2660E is a 100% electric rotating telehandler, and represents a major shift for the industry. Cleaner, quieter, and with zero emissions, it is ideal for use in indoor environments and urban sites, and is also a huge benefit where quieter construction is a priority.
The choice for responsible contractors
The Manitou MRT 2660E has quickly generated interest from contractors who need to reduce their carbon footprint, and who will not compromise on capability. Capable of full charge in just over two hours and with a run time of up to 8, the fully electric telehandler is low-maintenance, and versatile across sites.
The inclusion of a hybrid system means that if battery power runs low, the machine can seamlessly switch to diesel or another backup power source, preventing downtime and maintaining productivity. It is a flexible, powerful, and efficient choice for responsible contractors, offering high-performance lifting with environmental responsibility in mind.
Sales and Operations Director at Jarvie Plant, Gary Johnstone, said, “The team here at Jarvie Plant are always looking for innovative solutions to support our customers. The construction industry is increasingly focused on reducing its carbon footprint, so companies are looking for sustainable plant hire to support their goals.
“We’re delighted to be offering the only 100% electric rotating telehandler currently available in Scotland, and we are already seeing a lot of interest from environmentally-responsible businesses. We’re proud to be supporting customers on their journey towards net zero, and there will be more to come from our team to help companies meet their ESG goals.”
Speaking of the benefits for customers, Gary explains, “We recently had a customer use the Manitou for a large indoor warehouse fit-out, which they chose because not only does it offer the reach and rotation needed, but the emission-free and low-noise operation makes it ideal for indoor environments, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and improving worker comfort.
“For enclosed and urban environments, this is a real game-changer, and we’re so pleased to be bringing environmentally-friendly options to customers all over Scotland.”
