CP Hire goes electric

Coleraine-based CP Hire has taken delivery of a battery-powered JCB 19C-1E mini excavator to meet demand for users seeking environmentally-friendly equipment.

CP Hire's managing director, Andrew Hutchinson said: “We deal with many customers working in factories and food processing facilities.

“We can see a demand for this machine to carry out maintenance duties whilst producing no fumes and harmful emissions – enabling powerful indoor operation without the need for expensive extraction equipment.

“Currently we supply compressors and jack hammers to carry out floor breaking and similar roles but the JCB solution will give us more power and without trailing cables on busy sites,” he added.

CP Hire will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021. The family-run company offers tool and plant hire services from seven depots across Northern Ireland and five on the UK mainland.
