Hire and Rental News - November 2018

EQUIPMENT New pump, hose winder, generator and compactor makes work easier Crommelins has a new line up of equipment which it said will make hire equipment easier, safer and simpler to use. Fast Freddy hose winders is Crommelins’ new solution for rolling up long lengths of lay-flat hose, air hose, cables, and ropes. Using four centre winding arms, rollers and guides, Fast Freddy hose winders will give the perfect coil when wound, the company said. Made in Canada there are two models exclusive to Crommelins. The Cromtech Puddle Pump is perfect for puddles or flooding on site where a conventional pump won’t drain low enough. This is a 450w, 85L/min pump that will operate on most surfaces down to 1mm leaving the bare minimum of water. Also, Crommelins’ standard CC70 plate compactor can now be optioned with a folding handle and wheel kit, making the compactor simple to transport and store. The conversion kit has been designed to retro-fit existing CC70s and is easy to install. Crommelins also offers standby diesel generators powered by Japanese Kubota diesel engines, and Stamford alternators with Deep Sea controllers. This range of quiet, reliable generators start from 14kVA to 33kVA.
