Seeing the potential in these machines was simply a no brainer according to Pro Services Co Directors Murray Rich & Neil Radley. “What appealed to us most was the ability of the platform to remain level whist driving over rough terrain. Most other machines of its type are unable to do this but not the Almac 850-BL-EVO. It stays very stable, is safe and what’s more you can carry on working while you’re driving,” says Neil. Once positioned in place the Almac tracked scissor lift has a unique stabilising system (independently Bi-levelling tracks) which caters for different work situations where it can adapt from very narrow environmental applications to difficult or uneven terrain uses. “Given the fact that the machine will be safe no matter whether it is moving or stationary means that the operator can get on with the job and not have to worry about anything else,” says Murray.
Auckland based Pro Services has recently taken delivery of their first two Almac Tracked Access Equipment options, the 850-BL-EVO tracked scissor lift and the Multi-Loader from Youngman Richardson & Co Ltd to further strengthen their market position.
With a powerful Kubota diesel engine the Almac 850-BL-EVO scissor lift has many other features including being able to work up to 7.9 metres high. There is also a considerable increase in platform size ALMAC-PACIFIC.COM.AU with a 2-man basket (250kg capacity) and the ability to extend it to provide additional horizontal reach and extra room for tools and materials. In addition to the Almac tracked scissor lift they have also purchased in conjunction with Murray’s company Rich Rigging, a remote controlled Multi-Loader tracked platform to complement their portfolio of products. The Multi-Loader has a flat deck platform with 2.5 Tonne capacity and independently Bi-levelling tracks.

NEW TUFFBELT SYSTEM ROLLED OUT Hard on the heels of the introduction of the Tufftruk powered mini dumpers comes the Tuffbelt Mini-Maxi conveyer system. Never before has a product been so practical, reliable, simple to maintain and adjust, easy to install, compact and versatile. The Tuffbelt Mini-Maxi conveyer system is one such product. Built strong from the toughest materials and available in 4.5M sections, Tuffbelt can be joined to go to whatever length you want. It also provides maximum safety with each belt equipped with 2 emergency buttons to halt all conveyors in the series should there be a problem. Easy to load and easy to stack and store Tuffbelt is an ideal product for the hire industry where its uniqueness will undoubtly prove its worth with builders, landscapers, renovation firms and development or demolition contractors around the country. Convenient for transporting around building sites the Tuffbelt Mini-Maxi conveyer system is great for moving materials along narrow spaces. Handy hoppers ensure each belt is loaded perfectly and a simple belt scraper keeps the belts clean. And what’s more this product can be used in conjunction with Tufftruk mini dumpers and Kato mini excavators.
DEMO UNITS A BIG HIT The KATO HD17VXE demonstrator units have proven to be one of the great success stories of the year so far. Initially customers expressed interest but after trialing the equipment were more convinced than ever.
There are many great things to like about the two new KATO 1.7 ton excavators including the incredibly comfortable cabin features, the expanding tracks and a digging depth which is outstanding for an excavator of this size.
Maybe that was because the Youngman Richardson & Co. Ltd. HD17VXE demonstrator units had been allocated to their specialist earth moving representatives to let customers trial them in their own conditions.
Exceptional performance overall sets these two excavators apart. But that’s not all, not only do they come with a trailer option but there is also a 3 bucket Tiltman Hitch package which includes a dig bucket, a shallow spade bucket and a clean bucket. If that isn’t enough there is also a 4.95% finance offer.
