HE Services has signed a £14m mini-excavator order with
Takeuchi. Takeuchi president Akio Takeuchi and Hugh Edeleanu
(pictured right), founder of the hire company, signed the deal.
Over the next two years, Takeuchi will deliver 600 excavators to HE Services - which claims to be Europe's largest excavator hire company.
The order covers models from the 800kg micro digger (TB108) through 1.6t, 3t, 5t and 7.5t models to the newly introduced 8t wheeled excavator, the TW175.
All the machines include extras such as heavy-duty bucket ram guards, Masterhitch quick couplings, extra in-line fuel filtration and undisclosed security items.
The order follows on from the three-year deal between the two companies (due to expire in April) that saw HE take more than 200 Takeuchi excavators. Not all the machines will enter the hire fleet as a significant number will be used in HE's Diggerland theme parks.
Last year Takeuchi sold 1,600 units in the UK and claims market leadership in the 3t, 5t and 7t to 8t weight classes. At Bauma the company will show a new TB1140 (13.8t) and the TB23R Ultra-Swing machine, which weighs in a 2.1t.
