Trime shines for Glendun

12 October 2023

Dungannon-based plant and machinery dealer Glendun Plant has placed an order for more than 100 Trime X-Eco and X-Eco Hybrid Lithium lighting towers in readiness for the clocks going back at the end of this month and the onset of longer nights. 

The company reports that, although the diesel-powered X-Eco remains the most popular lighting tower amongst its customers, interest in the battery-powered X-Eco Hybrid Lithium is steadily increasing as more contractors seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint. 

Indeed, Glendun Plant says that the majority of the X-Eco Hybrid Lithium sets in this latest order have already been snapped up. 

The machine’s lithium battery can be fully recharged in less than three hours. This means that in a ten-hour cycle, for 80 per cent of operation, it is powered solely by the battery and therefore emits zero noise and zero carbon emissions.

Commenting on the order, Glendun Plant’s Dermot Cunnie said that the machines were chosen for their user-friendly operation, robustness and easy setup.

“We place our lighting tower order at the start of every year after detailed discussions with Andrew Owen, Trime UK Sales Director,” he said. “Many of our customers specifically ask for Trime lighting towers. Having the forward order in place gives the factory time to schedule for machines to land with us in a timely manner for the season.

“We are fielding more enquiries for solar and hybrid-powered lighting towers than we have in the past. Although we believe that the market on the island of Ireland is a little slower to react than in Great Britain, we remain very confident sales will grow for these products in the next two to three years.”
