Hire2K Plant and Tool Hire have further strengthened their telehandler offering with the addition of four new JCB 540-180 Loadalls, purchased from ECI JCB in Dublin.
The 540-180 Loadall is one of JCB’s most popular high-reach telehandlers, capable of lifting up to 4,000 kg with an impressive 18-metre reach and 13.5 metre forward reach. Powered by JCB’s latest Stage V EcoMAX engine, it delivers outstanding performance and fuel efficiency, while meeting the highest environmental standards.
With its compact dimensions, low boom profile, and exceptional all-round visibility, the 540-180 is perfectly suited to busy construction environments. Designed for productivity and low cost of ownership, it also features easy ground-level maintenance access and a durable chassis that ensures reliability on long-term hire.
On the handover of the new JCB’s, Rory O’Connor, Managing Director of Hire2K, said:
“The JCB Loadall fits perfectly into our hire fleet. These new 18-metre reach models, equipped with JCB’s most powerful engine to date, will make a significant impact on construction sites. They offer the reliability, reach and performance that our customers demand.”
The new Loadalls were immediately put to work on a long-term rental with Castlethorn, demonstrating Hire2K’s ability to support large-scale construction projects with modern, high-performance equipment.
At the official handover, Denis Murray, Managing Director of ECI JCB, and Martin Higgins, ECI JCB Service Manager, presented the machines to Brian Pigott and Enda Finnerty, Sales Manager of Hire2K.
