Ronan Cotter, General Manager of Dromad Hire commented: “This latest investment will enable us to expand the capability of our offering not only are these all electric machines more efficient but they are environmentally friendly.
“Some key benefits of electric or hybrid machines include zero emissions, zero noise, & they are ideal for indoor use or in noise sensitive environments.
“We will continue to invest in battery and electric technology across our core divisions, as we play our role in moving the industry towards a greener environment.”
Designed to work on sloped or uneven ground, the SL30RTE can automatically self-level on gradients up to 50% with no need for stabilisers. Its powerful 4-wheel drive can be driven at full height and boosts a spacious platform size.
