Electric Equipment
Having previously heavily relied on fossil fuels for power, one of the most significant advancements in plant hire is the introduction of eco-friendly electric plant equipment. We have introduced a number of electric and battery-powered machines, including Battery Dumpers, Electric Excavators, Battery Telehandlers and more. These machines produce zero emissions during operations, which significantly reduces the air pollution and carbon emissions from your construction project. This is particularly beneficial for construction projects located in urban areas where air quality is a concern.
Stage V Engine Optimisation
We have introduced Stage V engines throughout our plant hire fleet including on Telehandlers and Dumpers. Stage V engines adhere to stricter emission industry standards, lowering limits on harmful pollutants, resulting in cleaner engine exhaust and reduced environmental impact. These engines include advanced technologies including diesel particulate filters (DPF) to further reduce particulate matter emissions. This aids in improving air quality as a result of utilising these engines on your site. The introduction of Stage V engines represents a significant step forward in reducing emissions in plant equipment used on your site.
Smart Technology Integration
Integration of smart technologies, including GPS tracking systems, aids in improving the efficiency and sustainability of our plant hire operations. These technologies enable remote monitoring of equipment, reducing downtime and unnecessary fuel consumption.
Lifecycle Management
Our expert team conducts assessments on the lifecycle of our plant equipment to evaluate environmental impacts from manufacturing to disposal. By considering the lifecycle of our equipment, we can identify opportunities for improvement and make informed decisions to minimise our environmental footprint. This involves extending the lifespan of equipment through refurbishment and responsible disposal practices at the end of its life with GAP.
In conclusion, incorporating more eco-friendly solutions into our plant hire fleet plays a crucial role in advancing sustainability goals and mitigating environmental impacts across the industry, and for our clients. By embracing these solutions, we contribute to a more sustainable built environment while meeting the ever-changing requirements of our customers.
