B&T Plant Hire has made a significant investment in SANY UK’s electric machine range, placing an order for eight zero-emission models comprising three SY19E electric mini-excavators, one SY35E electric excavator, and four STH625E electric telehandlers.
SANY explained that the SY19Es are designed to deliver the performance and versatility expected from a conventional compact excavator while eliminating exhaust emissions and significantly reducing operating noise. The larger SY35E provides a ‘powerful and sustainable’ solution for a range of construction and utility applications. Meanwhile, the STH625Es bring zero-emission material handling capability to B&T’s fleet.
The machines will offer customers an alternative to diesel-powered equipment, particularly on projects where sustainability targets, noise restrictions or indoor working requirements are becoming increasingly important.
Steve Speed, sales manager at SANY UK, said, “This order is a fantastic endorsement of SANY’s electric machine range and highlights the growing demand for practical zero-emission equipment across the construction sector. B&T Plant Hire has a strong reputation for investing in quality equipment and supporting its customers with innovative solutions, and the addition
of three SY19E excavators, one SY35E excavator and four STH625E telehandlers demonstrates real confidence in the performance, reliability and productivity of electric construction machinery.”
Matt Fox, asset operations manager at B&T Plant Hire, added, “As customer demand for low and zero-emission equipment continues to increase, investing in electric machinery is an important part of our long-term fleet strategy. These new SANY electric excavators and telehandlers will enable us to support a wider range of projects, particularly within urban environments and sites where noise and emissions are key considerations.”
