The engines have significantly reduced diesel engine emissions to minimise the
effect on public health and the environment. Utilising ultra-clean technology, these
machines are far more efficient than ever before.
There is a requirement on some customer sites to only use Stage IIIB / Tier 4
compliant equipment and at A-Plant we offer telehandlers of various sizes (7m,
