Atlas Copco launch at Hillhead

New additions to Atlas Copco’s comprehensive range of construction equipment, on show for the first time in the UK, will include the new Series 8 portable compressor. Weighing in at under 750Kg across the range, the Series 8 sets new standards in almost every category, from size and weight to efficiency and performance. It also features the latest iteration of the polyethylene HardHat canopy, which is lighter and more durable than traditional metal canopies. The new Dynapac SD1800 CityPaver combines a tight turning circle with the popular features of its SD2500 big brother making it ideal for repairs in narrow streets and tight working areas. Other new ranges on show include HiLight towers which use LEDs to reduce energy consumption without compromising light coverage. And the latest handheld pneumatic RTEX breakers that offer significant reductions in energy consumption and weigh 25% less than their equivalents, without compromising performance. Visitors to the show, which is held in a Derbyshire quarry from 28th – 30th June, will also see Atlas Copco’s portfolio of hydraulic attachments. From the SB202 breaker, suited to 2.5 - 6t carriers to the world’s largest volume-reduced hydraulic breaker, the 10t HB10000 suitable for carriers up to 140t. The full range of silent demolition attachments including grapples, pulverisers, crushers, and combi-cutters will be on show. From the road construction portfolio, the popular Dynapac SD2500WS wheeled paver will be shown alongside the new SD1800W CityPaver. For those finishing touches we will also be showing a range of asphalt rollers and the 13t CA3500 soil roller. Alongside the new Series 8 compressor, there will be a range of mobile compressors and generators on the stand. Many of our handheld pneumatic, hydraulic and petrol tools will be demonstrated on the stand. Compaction equipment including, rammers and plates will be on show. Concrete equipment will include trowels with the quick stop feature for safe use when stopping. The SMART concrete pokers which feature a built-in frequency converter for ease of use will also be on display. For more information or to register as a visitor visit www.hillhead.com
