HSS Hire Ireland has taken delivery of 23 Kubota mini excavators, making them the largest hirer of the market-leading machines in Ireland, with a total of 48 machines.

The 1.7 tonne KX41-3V and 2.8 tonne KX71-3 models are available for hire through the company’s nationwide network of 24 branches, plus six agency outlets.

Dublin based HSS Hire Ireland is part of the HSS Hire Service Group, the UK's largest tool and equipment hire chain. Towards the end of 2007, it opened its new Dublin Superstore, with a floor area of 22,955 sq ft, and launched a 26,500 sq ft Superstore in Belfast.

The two new outlets will allow HSS to further increase its small plant offering to customers.

The cabbed mini excavators, supplied by Kubota distributor Whelan Plant Sales, of Ennis Co Clare, are fitted with a 'quick-hitch' coupler system that allows the operator to rapidly switch between attachments from inside the cab, and three different sized buckets.

They also feature Kubota’s unique key-based 'Anti-Theft' security system - the first and still the only one of its kind fitted as standard equipment by a mini excavator manufacturer.
