T H WHITE’s Technical Manager Simon Holmes has long been a champion of apprentice engineers for our sectors of Agriculture, Dairy, Construction and Groundcare but his latest efforts in engaging an MP in the subject, really live up to the trailblazing name of the group he co-chairs.
The Land Based Service Engineering (LBSE) Apprenticeship Trailblazer group was established way back when apprenticeship standards were being set. Simon joined the group as an employer representative in 2022 and stepped up to co-chair shortly afterwards. He co-chairs alongside David Kirschner, an independent consultant for the Land Based industry with a background working for the initial Fendt tractor importer and Renault Agriculture. This employer-led group consists of employers, manufacturers, training providers and assessment organisations throughout England and David represents the coalition of industry bodies that form LE-TEC (AEA, BAGMA & IAgriE).
The group was formed to represent land-based service engineering. They review the Level 2 & 3 LBSE apprenticeship standards to ensure that they are fit for purpose for the next 5 years.
The parties reviewed and audited the provision for upcoming apprentices and highlighting several critical issues in their proposals. These being:
Earlier this year a conservative MP Nick Fletcher championed this very topic with a 20 second TikTok video promoting access to LBSE apprenticeships in the simple and engaging manner. He stood in front of a Case IH tractor and highlighted the skill set and satisfaction of mending or servicing it. Take a look – https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGehAmwoL/
Simon wrote to Nick Fletcher to thank him, and invited him to a meeting to learn more. With Nick’s constituency in Yorkshire, Simon didn’t anticipate a response but was thrilled with a quick reply to meet. So last week in Bawtry, South Yorkshire, Simon and Nick overran their initial time slot engaged in fruitful discussion around how the LBSE apprenticeship pathways could prosper. Nick then sent back his Assistant, Andrew Issacs, to continue the discussions and our Government colleagues left with a commitment to share an understanding of these issues.
We are delighted to have received such engagement from Nick Fletcher MP and Andrew Issacs. We are hopeful of these discussions prompting a review in policy. Well done to Simon and David for continuing to shine a light on such an important career pathway for our younger generation and thank you to our government colleagues in anticipation of ongoing engagement.

As the official dealer of multiple brands T H WHITE specialises in supplying and maintaining high quality equipment backed by expert knowledge, reliable service and support.
But so do many dealers – so what is the T H WHITE difference?
We understand that every machinery purchase is unique. Our manufacturer-trained technical staff have years of expertise in specifying machinery needs, making them best placed to create a solution that’s perfectly suited to you. So here’s how we go about assisting you to achieve the best solutions:
1: THE NEED Let’s take the example of a tractor sale. Our experienced sales team will begin with a discussion to understand your needs. We will establish what you plan to do with your piece of machinery, how frequently it will be used and for what type of work. You may want it for ploughing, road work, loading, deep or shallow cultivation, baling, harvesting, or PTO. Whatever the need, we’ll tailor the solution.
2: PRODUCTIVITY We then ask you how much use this product is likely to get. This is critical to ensure we recommend the correct model to meet the demands of your tasks and ensure it lasts for the life-span you specify before you consider an upgrade. We will also ask you how long you need to run this equipment for. A typical lifespan may range from 3-5 years and this, combined with the expected hours, will help us determine the requirement for care and maintenance.
3: FUNCTIONALITY Next we’ll explore the functionality you require. Do you wish to drill, lift, harrow, rake, mow, bale or something else?
All these choices and preferences will enable our specialists to ensure you end up with exactly the right kit for your requirements. We don’t want you to buy more than you need, but equally we want you to be confident that your machinery is ready for what you expect of it. And we don’t stop there… We make sure you are aware of all the options available to you. We aren’t into hard selling, just allowing you to make informed decisions that help you get the best from your machinery.
We check you’ve considered your comfort needs? If you have indicated a 2,000 hour yearly use you will be looking for comfortable, possibly heated seating, enhanced suspension and technology access for the extended time spent in your cab. We will discuss your lighting requirements should you need to work from dusk to dawn and we’ll ensure you have the necessary supply spools for oil, hydraulics etc. We will talk you through precision farming tools to ensure you are optimising your equipment’s productivity, as well as telematics technology to allow monitoring of service requirements.
We’ll also examine the security of your equipment, ensuring you understand the risks and can make informed decisions about whether you wish to purchase security features. You can rest assured that we won’t discuss options that aren’t relevant to the needs you have disclosed. T H WHITE has spent almost two centuries building relationships. For us it’s not about the short term – our whole philosophy revolves around working with you to help you build and sustain your business no matter what challenges may occur along the way. By working with you in the long-term, we want to be there alongside you to look after your equipment for its – and your – lifetime, to help you get the most from your planned activities.
This is how we have served the generations we have worked with, and will continue to do so. With the fact find complete, we are ready to discuss the right purchase route for you.
Find the Purchase Route That’s Right for YouThere are various routes available allowing you to buy outright, lease or contract hire. You may want to buy at today’s cost with tomorrow’s income, to have no risk of interest rate rises, offset a rental against tax or to claim a capital tax allowance. Your sales representative can discuss the various financial pathways available to you which you may also wish to discuss with your financial advisor. Depending on the time of year and your company’s year end, it may alter the decision you make due to the tax treatment – be that tax through VAT, Capital Allowances or Income/Corporate Tax.
Although T H WHITE does not provide financial advice, our sales specialists will happily provide information on tax implications but we also strongly advise a conversation with your accountant to advise on the best approach for your individual circumstances. All our sales representatives are manufacturer-trained to ensure they have comprehensive knowledge of all the options available to meet specific challenges
From the machinery use and desired length of ownership we now tailor your purchase to your exact goals by determining your liability needs. Ideally this liability cover should align with the period of ownership (the Contract Period). Most equipment we provide comes with a ONE year full manufacturer’s warranty. There are then various manufacturer dedicated programmes designed to give you complete and long-lasting peace of mind by providing servicing and extended cover for additional years (often up to 5 years). Such plans give you maximum control over your operating costs, fixed payments and no additional outlay for breakdowns or failures ensuring minimum downtime to your business. These transferable programmes can be passed between owners and offer professional support including high quality repairs by fully trained technicians, express parts and a specialist support centre – all creating a higher residual value for your machinery and strengthening your resale opportunities.
The final step is to work through a tailored service contract. We help you understand that warranty cover is only valid when supported by a regularly serviced and maintained piece of equipment and that if no extended cover is taken the costs of failure (even a day outside of warranty) are your complete responsibility. Manufacturers often include extended cover free of charge on condition that a service contract is in place, so it’s well worth taking a service contract in order to benefit from this. This is exactly why we are on hand with competitive options to extend your protection and service your machinery. Here again we offer various options and payment paths to make the process easy for you, from pay up front, monthly standing order, monthly invoice (all benefiting from fixed labour charges) or pay as you go.
We truly understand every purchase is unique. Trust the T H WHITE difference to make your purchase the right one.

The new year sees a new name for one of our key supplier relationships and one of the construction equipment industries most favoured brands, DOOSAN becomes DEVELON.
Back in August 2021, Doosan became part of HD Hyundai. A new chapter commenced where the company began defining their brand architecture for their ranges which has resulted in a Doosan name change. But as the brand name changes, one thing remains the same, the machines the industry have become so familiar with, will always be ‘Powered by Innovation’.

Derived from “Develop” and “Onwards”, DEVELON represents HDI’s new beginning and incorporates their direction and ambition to “change the world with innovative products and solutions.”
The company will continue to strive to position DEVELON at the forefront of the construction equipment industry by continually investing in new technologies that give customers the advantage over their competitors. The products will continue to evolve to meet the needs of customers today and in the future.
How do you pronounce DEVELON?
DEVELON is pronounced in 3 syllables, DE-VEL-ON.
When will you see DEVELON for the first time ?
CONEXPO 2023 held in Las Vegas on 14th – 18th of March will see the unveiling of the machines with their brand new name. You can then expect to see new DEVELON branded machines will be delivered from Quarter 2 of 2023 onwards.

Innovation sits at the heart of every Mecalac machine – and innovation is one thing the MDX range of cabbed dumpers have an abundance of.
The Mecalac MDX cabbed dumpers centre around operator safety. Designed from the ground up to set safety standards in performance, safety and comfort, the innovative models offer numerous benefits. Fully enclosed certified ROPS/ FOPS MDX Cabs prioritise the highest level of operator comfort by minimising vibration and noise, ergonomic controls and high adjustable seat.
Front and rear LED worklights come as standard, and the class leading visibility from the large curved glazed cab provides safer access to the cab thanks to high visibility and easy to reach self-cleaning steps and hand rails. Easily accessible service points are also a feature reached from ground level. The Mecalac MDX dumpers are available as forward tip or swivel skip with Synchro-Shuttle or hydrostatic 4WD for excellent handling on site.
The more recently launched 3.5 ton cabbed dumper from Mecalac is the smallest of the MDX range. The 3.5MDX combines style with the ‘rental tough’ build quality that Mecalac construction equipment is renowned for.
The compact cabbed dumper boasts a Stage V compliant Kubota engine which provides 50HP (37kW) of power. It’s compact dimensions make it super manoeuvrable and ideal for construction sites where space is limited.
With the same fully enclosed cab, and either forward tip skip or swivel tip skip, this model and the 9 MDX provide dual side cabin access, an optional screen guard, ISO compliant front camera as standard with optional rear camera and 4 speed synchro shuttle transmission (optional upgrade to hydrostatic).
Operating Weight from 4460 kg – 4960 kg
Both the 6 & 9 MDX models can now be specified with state-of-the-art hydrostatic transmission to replace mechanical transmission with fixed gear ratios. This ensures easier operations without gear shifting and provides the added benefit of responsive dynamic braking, making operation easier and safer for both experienced and new operators – perfect for both rental fleets and operators who frequently change their equipment. It’s a particularly useful feature on steep inclines where gear changes can often result in loss of drive.
For additional safety, the 3.5MDX features Shield – Mecalac’s package of safety-critical operator features – as standard. Key technologies include start & drive interlock, handbrake warning, digital speedometer, fuel loss warning sensor, automatic idle shut-off, park brake test and Stop-Start Control™. Each model can also be fitted with a unique isolated MDX cab which minimises vibration and noise, also having the strength to withstand impacts while loading the dumper skip.

Power, economy and rugged reliability are all highly important when choosing an excavator and the Doosan DX140LC-7 features all these qualities in spades. But now there’s an added factor to consider for future-proofing your plant – emissions.
While the industry is generally moving to Stage V engines, Doosan has taken the process even further without any detriment to performance. Doosan’s new D34 4-cylinder Stage V diesel engine not only delivers 87.2 kW (117hp) at 2000rpm, but it exceeds Stage V regulations without Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). That boosts the quantity of air available during combustion, increasing the temperature of the process and greatly reducing the amount of particulates produced. The enhanced fuel efficiency of the D34 engine in combination with a new hydraulic main valve and the new generation SPC3 Smart Power Controls, provides significant fuel savings.
The Doosan DX140LCR-7 is a reduced tail swing model.
The 14.6 tonne DX140LC-7 is the standard model, while the DX140LCR-7 is a reduced tail swing model, allowing operators greater flexibility where space is at a premium without sacrificing performance. The DX140LCR-7 also has a new counterweight design that not only enhances service accessibility but also offers the best equilibrium possible between reduced swing radius and stability. In fact, it’s one of the shortest swing radiuses in the market with the stability of a conventional excavator.
The Doosan DX225LC=7 23 tonne crawler model.
If you need a really beefy machine you can lift your business to the next level with the new DX225LC-7 23 tonne crawler model. This is the first Doosan excavator of this size to feature Doosan’s innovative D-ECOPOWER virtual bleed off (VBO) technology, providing operators with higher productivity and around 7% lower fuel consumption per hour than the previous Stage IV model, as well as smoother controls. Take a peek at it in this video:

With a passion for cars, motorcycles and BIG machines, James Bird couldn’t be in a better job. Not so long ago, while he was running his own business, he sold a used 100-ton Caterpillar face shovel excavator to a South American client in Columbia for £250,000 – certainly a landmark sale. Now, as a senior salesman with the T H WHITE Construction team at Stourport-on-Severn, his daily stock-in-trade is now somewhat more modest machinery, but he still has big opportunities with Manitou MRT rotating turret handlers, Dooosan DX800 80 tonne excavators and Doosan DA45 ADT’s.
Nevertheless, with more than 24 years’ experience in the construction industry he knows the business inside out and has first-hand experience of many major brands including Caterpillar, Volvo, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kubota, Bell, Case, Terex (now Mecalac), Manitou and Doosan.
“We are in very exciting times.” says James, “The whole construction equipment sector stands on the brink of a technological revolution. It started with GPS guided machines and laser guided tools, and now we are starting to see autonomous machines. Before long we are likely to be using machinery controlled by robots or GPS without the need for human operators at all!”
James joined Murley at Stourport in 2016 and last year the business became part of the T H WHITE Group. “There have already been some significant changes to the Construction Division with increased focus and scale being brought to the operation. So far the customers have reacted very positively and we are on a mission to deliver even better customer support with new facilities at Stourport.”
As you might expect in a 24-year career so far, James has had a few interesting and unusual experiences. “I’ll never forget one meeting I had with a customer in Iceland. We met each other in the Blue Lagoon – a naturally heated pool next to a geothermic power plant!
“One of the most satisfying things is when you can supply a customer with a machine that makes a really positive difference to their business. A few years ago I sold a brand new rotation Manitou telehandler to Jaguar Land Rover – it proved to be the ideal machine for removing robots from the production line if they go down, so is a crucial element in keeping production lines running smoothly.
“Of course, there have been many changes, even in the last few years. More constricted construction sites with less room for manoeuvrability have resulted in a trend towards zero and reduced tail swing excavators, but the most noticeable developments have been not only in the general efficiency of machines, but also operator safety. Environmental awareness has played a big part too, with fuel economy and emissions reduction being achieved at a more rapid pace than ever.”
Off duty, as well as being a petrol head, James enjoys shooting and watching his favourite football team – Nottingham Forest.

As building contractors have to work in ever-tighter spaces there is a growing demand for machines which are more compact without sacrificing lift height or lifting capacity. Manitou has risen to the challenge with its new MT730 and MT930 telehandlers which are just 2m wide and 2m tall – small enough to fit through a domestic garage door – but still capable of lifting 3 tonnes to 7m or 9m respectively.
A powerful 75hp Kubota Stage V engine is paired with 25kph hydrostatic transmission. There are three steering modes – 4-wheel steer, 2-wheel steer and ‘crab’, while 34.5cm ground clearance and a 3.33m turning radius equip these machines for all terrain and the tightest of spaces.
Achieving extremely low running costs has always been a priority for the Manitou designers and the MT730/MT930 can be fitted with a new stop-start system which can be programmed to operate when the engine has been idling for anything from 1 minute to 30 minutes. The reduction in idling time minimises wear and noise, as well as prolonging intervals between DPF regeneration. The need to change hydraulic oil can also be more strictly controlled, thanks to easy access points for collecting oil samples for analysis.
To complement the new telehandlers Manitou has also introduced two new attachments – a 2m narrow bucket dedicated to heavy bulk, or folding forks, both of which contribute to the ability to work in the most confined spaces. For transport both models also have a new floating fork carriage that folds back the forks, reducing the length to just 4.67m.
Take a walk around the new models with this video:
Then, to try one for real, just call one of the T H WHITE specialists – Steve Clucas-Tomlinson on 07860 593339, Kevin Condon on 07966 133538 or James Bird on 07970 805985.

Mecalac raised the bar for dumper design with the recent launch of its 3.5-tonne 3.5MDX which set new standards of safety, comfort, and performance. Mecalac has followed this up with all new six-tonne 6MDX and nine-tonne 9MDX models.
Both new models can now be specified with state-of-the-art hydrostatic transmission to replace mechanical transmission with fixed gear ratios. This ensures easier operations without gear shifting and provides the added benefit of responsive dynamic braking, making operation easier and safer for both experienced and new operators – perfect for both rental fleets and operators who frequently change their equipment. It’s a particularly useful feature on steep inclines where gear changes can often result in loss of drive.
The two new dumpers are available with the option of either an integrated cab or all-new ROPS foldable roll bar which allows the machine to work in low height areas.
For additional safety and comfort, the 6MDX and 9MDX can be fitted with the unique isolated MDX cab which minimises vibration and noise, also having the strength to withstand impacts while loading the dumper skip. Take a look at the Mecalac MDX cab impact test video:
Here’s a walk-around of the 6MDX site dumper to give a better understanding of the benefits associated with the new Mecalac dumper range:

An order for 11 large excavators is significant by any measure, but even more so when it is placed by a new customer.
Redditch-based RM Contractors have been in business for 27 years, providing site preparation and groundworks for some of Britain’s leading housebuilders. The company’s sphere of operations stretches from Shropshire, Herefordshire and the Welsh borders, down to Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire in the south and Weston-super-Mare in the west. With continuous activity on multiple sites, RM Contractors operate a large machinery fleet.
“Earlier this year we were in need of new excavators as well as replacing some existing ones in our fleet ,” said Managing director Chris Moen. “Due to supply chain issues with our usual brand, we were forced to look at alternatives. We decided to put a few different Doosan machines on trial with Andy Chatham of T H WHITE Construction.”
“We were very impressed by the Doosan machines, but it was the comments from our drivers that really made the difference, Chris added. “They loved the Doosans.”
Andy Chatham, sales director of T H WHITE Construction, said: “RM Contractors are a new customer for us so it was particularly pleasing to hear their comments about the Doosan excavators – and then to receive such a substantial order.”
During December RM Contractors have been taking delivery of their first Doosan machines – ten DX140LC-7 14-ton excavators and one DX225LC-7 23-ton crawler model. These are all new generation Doosan models featuring the latest D34 Stage V engine with improved fuel efficiency, a new cab design with increased visibility and driver comfort, as well as enhanced hydraulic performance.
“We will probably be looking for another 20 or more excavators in 2022, including more in the 20-ton+ range,” says Chris, “so if our first impressions about Doosan prove to be correct, we may be placing a further order.”
If you would like to arrange a demo of any Doosan machine, just contact Andy Chatham on 07973 492457, or our specialist Construction team at Stourport on 01299 827002.

Earlier this month, we welcomed three members of the Manitou Sales & Demo team to our Knockdown branch, where we hosted our first Manitou Telehandler installation training day. Being the first of its kind for Manitou, their objective was to equip our technicians with a comprehensive knowledge to improve the hand over experience of new machines, and to ensure that our customers get the best out of their equipment.
One technician from each of our Agriculture and Construction branches attended the training, plus our Chief Demonstrator: Mike Quilter. For the safety of everyone, each attendee produced evidence of a negative Lateral Flow test before entering the building.
The training was led by Richard Felton, Anthony Hogben & Jim Hulme from the Manitou Sales & Demo team, whereby they delivered three different modules covering machine operation features; telematics and supporting material access.
An important feature of the training was to ensure our technicians know how to efficiently use Manitou Group’s “Connected Machine” solutions, which are accessible via a suite of tools adapted to each individual’s needs: myManitou Mobile App, designed for the end user; and/or the EasyMANAGER fleet management platform dedicated to managers of several pieces of equipment.
Our technicians were shown how to synchronise the customers machine to the MyManitou app, to make use of the telematics feature that is fitted to every Manitou product that we sell. The “Connected Machine” solutions allow our customers to monitor key indicators about their machine including; fuel level, AdBlue level, hour counter and time to next service. The platforms also work as a fleet management tool, allowing our customers to set a basic geofence around their machines, which generates a notification if a machine moves out of a defined area. All of this information is accessible by our trained technicians, who have real-time access to the data to assist in early maintenance and remote support, plus reducing total cost of ownership and downtime.
If you want to get connected; contact your local branch today and our trained technicians will be happy to help you.

Churcham Homes has established a strong reputation as a prestige West Country house builder. Based at Huntley, Gloucestershire, the family-owned business specialises in high-value, architect-designed homes and its latest development, at Ullenwood near Cheltenham, will encompass its 100th house to date.
The Ullenwood site will offer a stunning combination of ultra-contemporary residences in a beautiful 34-acre Cotswold setting, with the first of 26 spacious houses due to be completed before the end of 2021. The task of making sure the right kit is on-site to ensure the houses are built on schedule to Churcham’s high standards falls to Site Maintenance Manager, Lyndon Liddington.
“It’s a complex build and I knew we would need a tough, reliable machine that could be used for a wide variety of applications,” said Lyndon. By a stroke of luck the Churcham offices are right next to T H WHITE’s Huntley branch, and it was there that construction machinery specialist Steve Clucas-Tomlinson introduced Lyndon to the Manitou MRT 2150 Privilege Plus rotating telehandler.
Lyndon knew immediately that this was the machine he needed: “It’s incredible – Manitou advertise it as a 3-in-1 machine – telehandler, winch and work platform – but it’s much more than that. It can do almost every job needed on a construction site, from simply moving materials around to use as a crane. Because it rotates through 360 degrees you can carry out all sorts of tasks without having to move the machine.
“On sites where a crane has been brought in to lift roof trusses you can often be waiting around for wind to drop etc, but because the Manitou is on site all the time you can just do those jobs when the moment is right – not being governed by the weather. The Manitou’s built-in telescopic stabilisers make it safe and effective for use as a crane and its 17.9m reach and 5 tonne lift capacity mean it can handle steels and other heavy items.
“Another great feature is the electronic sensor that identifies the attachment in use and adjusts the load settings accordingly,” Lyndon adds.
The purchase was made and the Manitou MRT2150 was delivered to Ullenwood in January. Lyndon is over the moon: “It’s the best thing we’ve ever bought – a real all-rounder. No serious builder should be without one!

The modern construction machine is rarely owned and operated by the same person. It could be part of a contractor’s or hire fleet, or operated by a farm manager on behalf of the owner.
In many cases the owner does not see the machine from one month to the next, but he/she does want to know where it is, how much work it does each day, and when it needs to be serviced. The Manitou ‘Connected Machine’ system provides fleet managers with this, and more, information via their own dashboard on a PC or mobile phone App. What’s more, it has been a standard feature on all compatible machines manufactured since January 2019.
Firstly, Connected Machines include a tracker which constantly communicates the machine’s location to the fleet manager. It is also possible to Geofence the machine to send an alert if it moves out of the expected operating area. The manager has access to all operational data, such as hours worked, current activity, operator alarms, etc. They can also see when it is due for its next service, or analyse error codes before attending a site to service a machine. This feature, alone, can reduce the need for a primary visit to diagnose a fault, followed by a second visit to rectify it. It means reduced downtime for the operator and reduced service costs for the machine owner.
The user-friendly Connected Machine dashboard provides the fleet manager with the location of their entire fleet, with details of each machine, its current status, and service requirements. The MyManitou Mobile App is designed for machine owners to ‘connect’ with their machine when away from the office. This can be particularly useful for mobile engineers to locate a machine which they are due to attend or to diagnose faults in advance of a site visit.
All Connected Machines are supplied with 2 year, 2,000 hour, manufacturer warranty as standard. That can be extended by 1 to 4 years offering peace of mind for up to 6 years, or 6,000 hours (whichever comes first).
Manitou Connected Machines are designed to ensure that fleet managers and farming groups have real-time visibility of their entire fleet, know where each machine is, what it is doing, and when it next requires a service.

Manitou’s MT construction telehandlers are material handling machines equipped with 4-wheel drive and steering designed to work in off-road conditions. Thanks to their high-performance load charts, they offer you a working envelope adapted to various construction sites and tasks – masonry, structure, framework, cladding, roofing, renovation, or tunnelling. With an MT telescopic handler, you will be able to load/unload, transport, distribute and handle all types of loads with precision and comfort. Allowing you to operate quickly and efficiently, your machine improves your productivity and provides you with a perfect safety of execution.
All MT models have:
THE COMPACT FAVOURITE
The Manitou MT625 is a utility all-purpose machine from Manitou’s Construction Telehandler range with 5.85m lift and 2,500kg payload. Its compact dimensions enable you to carry out all manner of handling work: placing pallets on the first floor of a building, bulk loading or unloading from storage area or on site, work in underground car parks, semi constructed buildings or low headroom building areas on congested sites.
Designed with construction and renovation in mind, the MT 625 has exceptional characteristics with a width and height less than 2m (1.81 x 1.92m) and 33cm ground clearance, the MT 625 moves easily in restricted spaces which would typically be inaccessible to other handling equipment. Extreme manoeuvrability comes from its 4-wheel drive and all-wheel steering with single lever steering mode. The hydrostatic transmission provides flexible and progressive control for positioning a load with more accuracy and safety. This system adapts the performance of your machine to the operator’s requirements using the inching function, and you can adjust the speed of travel of the truck independently of the engine speed. You can also adapt your speed to working conditions and optimise fuel consumption – a +/- switch on the dashboard allows you to select either on-site speed (7 kph) or road speed (25 kph).
THE MIGHTY MUSCLE
With the muscle to lift heavy loads to high places, the Manitou MT1840 telehandler strikes the perfect balance between power and precision. Specially designed for high bay/high rise work sites this heavy performer is ideal for an array of construction handling from concrete mixing to buckets and hook, moving bulk materials to masonry support.
Offering an impressive lifting capacity of 4 tons up to a height of 59ft, it also features excellent lateral and front stability, particularly when the outriggers are deployed. Equally at home on uneven terrain, it has a generous 42cm ground clearance and a tight turning circle meaning that manoeuvrability is never a problem. Robust and designed to last, this handler is equipped with a low frame steel door and quality components to ensure longevity. For ease of transportation, multiple slinging points are provided. It also boasts outstanding safety and its new easy step access makes hopping on and off a breeze. A true multi-tasker, it can be adapted to meet all your needs simply by changing the boom attachment.

With the muscle to lift heavy loads to high places, the Manitou MT1840 telehandler strikes the perfect balance between power and precision.
Specially designed for high bay/high rise work sites. Offering an impressive lifting capacity of 4 tons up to a height of 59ft, it also features excellent lateral and front stability, particularly when the outriggers are deployed. Equally at home on uneven terrain, it has a generous ground clearance and a tight turning circle meaning that manoeuvrability is never a problem.

A true multi-tasker, it can be adapted to meet all your needs simply by changing the boom attachment.
When you need a really heavy lifter that can also handle hefty loads with precision, the Manitou MHT range provides the answer.
For example, the new MHT 12330 telehandler features a 32-ton fork capacity and 35.7-ton lift hook capacity. With a maximum lift height of 39 feet 1 inch and maximum reach of 21 feet 8 inches, it has the ability to move industrial equipment in areas where it would be impossible to use a crane.
Powered by a 245hp Stage V / Tier IV final Deutz engine, it has a three-speed hydrostatic transmission with full wheel four-wheel drive. The operator can choose all-wheel, crab or front wheel steering, depending on the job.
Top applications for the Manitou MHT 12330 include infrastructure projects, mining, bridge construction, steel mills, oil refineries, quarries, power distribution and heavy hauling. This machine is a truly versatile machine, compatible with a wide range of attachments, including those from smaller telehandler models.
Stepping up even further, the Manitou MHT-X range is able to lift up to 40 tons up to 32ft, making it possible to transport heavy and large loads not only with flexibility and precision, but also in absolute safety. Robust build quality means the MHT-X is perfect for all-terrain handling applications.
If you are looking for a heavy lifter, the T H WHITE Construction team at Marlborough can deliver what you need. Call them on 01672 512328.

New Holland Construction has been at the forefront of the Construction industry since 1895 from developing the first hydraulic excavator to designing their highly successful skid steer loaders of which they have sold over 200,000 worldwide. The company’s green technologies continue to pave the way in modern construction. Compact excavators and back-hoes are ideal for tight working quarters while the skid steer loaders, track or wheeled loaders and compact loaders all finish off a job’s landscaping and material handling work.
Manitou is equally strong in the construction business, with some of the toughest, most versatile machines in the business. Here’s our quick pick of excavators. loaders and lifters, but remember that we can supply any machine from the New Holland or Manitou ranges. For details of all the machines, plus some great finance deals, CONTACT EITHER YOUR T H WHITE REP OR OUR MARLBOROUGH BRANCH ON 01672 512328.
The New Holland E37C compact excavator is a master of small spaces but with BIG digging and grading performance.We supply the following New Holland models:
Backhoe Loaders: B100C, B110C, B115C; Mini Excavators: E17C, E18C, E26C, E33C, E37C, E57C, E60C; Wheel Loaders: W110D, W130D, W170D; Skid Steer Loaders and Compact Track Loaders: L213, L216, L218, L220, L221, L230, C227, C238
Even the baby of the New Holland compact track loader range, the L213 shown at work here, has the best class dump height and reach in the business. The redesigned vertical lift geometry of the SUPER BOOM® enables operators to load material right in the centre of the truck bed. In addition, its pivot point is very close to the machine’s centre of gravity, resulting in exceptional stability of the machine at work.
New Holland’s New C Series backhoe loaders with Tier 4 Final certified engines deliver the power and torque needed so you can dig, load, trench or push faster, while reducing the impact on the environment. This is the B110C backhoe loader.
The Manitou MT625-109 is a utility all-purpose machine from Manitou’s Construction Telehandler range with 5.85m lift and 2,500kg payload.

One of the beefiest rotating telehandlers in the Manitou range – the MRT 2550 Privilege Plus – has been added to the plant list at Scottish-based Graph Engineering.
Managing Director George Auld is looking forward to working with the new machine, which was supplied by T H WHITE Construction in mid-February and was put to work straight away on a malting site in East Lothian – a job for which T H WHITE Projects supplied the silos.
With a company history stretching back more than 25 years, Graph Engineering has worked extensively on industrial and grain handling installations across the UK, Europe, Ireland and even in the Orkney Islands, many of the commissions being undertaken with
T H WHITE Projects. It was to meet the demands of these larger installations that George bought the MRT 2550. He is a long-term user of Manitou telehandlers and he already has a heavy duty 3.7-tonne lift MRT 2150 in his fleet as well as an MT 625 purchased from T H WHITE a couple of years ago for lighter work.
“We love the durability and reliability of Manitou machines,” said George, “and the 5 tonne capacity plus 25m lift of the MRT 2550 will be a real advantage for installation of steelwork and conveyors.
“In many applications we will be able to use the MRT 2550 as a crane by adding a winch which will give us an extra 4m lift – and up to 7m for lifting lighter loads. The boom on the MRT 2550 comprises four elements which, combined with the 360deg rotation of the turret, allows many operations to be performed without moving the equipment. The E-reco attachment recognition system keeps an eye on the working configuration to detect any overload and make sure that everything stays within the safe working envelope. The machine is essentially a forklift, crane and access platform all in one”
There’s a Manitou telehandler for a wide range of construction tasks. For all the details and impartial advice on the right one for your application, call Steve Clucas-Tomlinson on 07860 593339 or Luke Sellwood on 07780 225104.

After many years as an official dealer for Manitou loaders, T H WHITE has now also been appointed as a dealer for the French company’s innovative range of access and aerial work platforms.
Making it easy and safe to access hard-to-reach places, Manitou’s aerial platforms are offered in a variety of configurations. Depending on the application, the most appropriate solution might be a platform with a long-reach articulated or telescopic boom, or straight lifts in more confined spaces might call for a ‘scissor’ lift or a vertical mast.
Starting with the compact 80 VJR vertical mast model which has a working height of 7.65m (25ft), the range includes many configurations right up to the brawny telescopic boom 280 TJ which can reach a working height of 27.75m (91ft) while lifting a payload of 240kg (529lb). Where heavier loads need to be lifted the scissor-lift models come into their own, the 100 SC having a lifting capacity up to 680kg (1,500lb). The models are variously offered with diesel, electric or hybrid power.
Construction, installation and repair tasks are the obvious applications for Manitou aerial work platforms and indeed they are sold through T H WHITE Construction, but there are many other uses too. For example, the ever-increasing size of agricultural machinery such as combine and forage harvesters means that an aerial platform can make it much easier to access higher level inspection panels and parts. We have recently been using a Manitou 100 VJR when working on combine harvesters in our Marlborough depot (see photo).
If you would like to know more, our Construction specialist Steve Clucas-Tomlinson would be happy to talk through the options. Call him on 07860 593339.

Manitou’s new pivot-steer telehandler, the MLA-T, combines bags of sheer tear-out force with exceptional levels of comfort and durability, and is available now from T H WHITE Agriculture and Construction.
Designed in-house from the ground-up, the MLA-T features a tighter turning circle than competing machines and, unlike many pivot-steer handlers, it shuns standard torque converter transmission for Manitou’s own hydrostatic M-Vario Plus transmission, which is more commonly found on higher-spec, rigid-frame machines.
Powered by a Deutz 4.1-litre, 143hp diesel engine, the MLA-T has plenty of ‘grunt’ for all the construction and agricultural tasks that it will be required to perform. On the road it can be driven at up to 40kph, but a number of advanced technologies are built-in to deliver maximum power at slow speeds with the engine driving two separate axial piston motors, one of which is automatically disengaged above 20kph to reduce oil displacement, assist cooling and reduce fuel consumption.
An eco-mode can also result in a fuel cost saving of around £440 over 1,000 hours when full power isn’t needed.
Built for hard work in harsh environments, the MLA-T features a heavy chassis with widely spaced top and bottom pins to mitigate stress on the pivot joint and the prop shaft runs inside the chassis for maximum protection.
Matching equivalent rigid machines, the MLA-T can lift 3.3t at full articulation and up to 5t for a straight tipping load, while optional ‘intelligent’ hydraulics offer three most useful automated functions – Quick Lift which combines raising/lowering with extension/retraction; Bucket Shaker saves the operator from making repetitive movements; and Return to Load to automatically return to a pre-set position.
Completing the package is a comfortable working environment and brand new cab design with easy control via a JSM joystick and a digital display dash. Maintenance is easy thanks to a central greasing block.
We think you’ll love the MLT-A, particularly for livestock farming and construction applications, but you don’t need to take our word for it. If you would like to see and try the machine for yourself, please contact your T H WHITE Agriculture or Construction representative.

Wiltshire-based groundworks contractor Russell Noyce has recently been undertaking projects across the county boundary in Hampshire. Last year he completed some work at T H WHITE’s own new Stockbridge branch and now he is working on a major extension project for Double H Nurseries Ltd at New Milton.
Double H is a massive operation which has been supplying houseplants to leading supermarket chains since the 1960s. The company’s greenhouses cover many acres and the latest development is a project to insert a new large greenhouse covering the area between two existing ones. Russell was commissioned to carry out ground works and foundations before a team from Holland come to construct the new greenhouse.
“It’s actually a much bigger job than it might appear,” said Russell. “There’s an enormous amount of pipework and other services that had to go in before the concrete slab could be prepared.
A sunken loading ramp for artics also had to be excavated and lined with reinforced concrete – that alone was a significant job that took several weeks.”
Reliable earth moving plant is essential for Russell’s business and for quite a few years now he has been using Case excavators and Terex dumpers supplied by T H WHITE. The latest addition to his fleet is a Case CX30B 3t mini digger.
“The CX30 replaced an older Case machine and I have to say they just keep getting better and better. The new digger drives beautifully, it’s comfortable for long hours of use and it has excellent reach and balance. In the early days of my business I always bought a well-known brand of earth moving machinery but I have to say the quality of that has just gone down and down. These days I think it would be hard to beat Case equipment for the price.”
As well as the Case 3t digger Russell has a more compact 1.5t digger and a 3t Terex dumper. “Those machines cover most of our needs, but I’m hoping to buy another digger before too long and I’ll be going to T H WHITE for that,” he adds. “Their construction specialist David Price is a great guy who will do anything for you and that’s worth as much as having good machinery.”
