A-Plant's Milton Keynes depot invests in Power Generation

A-Plant’s Milton Keynes depot has recently introduced Power Generation equipment to its fleet; the new generators will complement the depot’s existing fleet of portable accommodation units offering customers a one-stop shop for their site welfare needs. Over £250,000 has been invested in a brand new fleet of 35 Generators ranging between 15kVA – 100kVA, together with over 35 associated products such as Fuel Tanks, Distribution Boards and Cables.

The fleet is based around SDMO-manufactured generators which are fully-compliant with the Tier 3 regulations of the European Engine Emissions Directives 97/68/EC, 2002/88/EC, 2004/26/EC and 2006/105/EC, which came into force during 2011. The generators will provide customers with efficient and cost-effective power generation options whilst addressing important environmental issues through low noise levels and reduced ground pollution.

A-Plant’s Regional Sales Director Steven King said, “The depot is in an ideal location to serve the Homes Counties. Introducing generators into the depot has further enhanced its product offering, and the recent severe weather has meant we have now been able to support our customers with their emergency planning in terms of generator hire”.

A-Plant is one of the UK’s largest hirers of Plant, Tools and Specialist Equipment with more than 2,200 employees nationwide and over 30,000 customers in the construction, industrial, commercial, utility, public sector, homeowner and events markets. The firm, which forms part of FTSE-100 company Ashtead Group plc, has in excess of 110,000 items of Plant, Tools and Specialist Equipment available to hire from over 125 Service Centres across Great Britain.
