HIREland, the all-new rental equipment event, taking place on 26th March 2026 at the National Basketball Arena in Dublin, is delighted to announce Ireland’s authorised distributor for Komatsu, McHale Plant Sales, as the latest big name to commit to the event. Demonstrating its support for the plant and tool hire sector.
With over 30 years’ experience as distributor for the Komatsu range, who’s utility line-up includes 18 mini excavators (3 of which are all electric), a range of midi sized excavators, wheeled excavators and wheel-loaders, in addition to backhoes and skid-steers, ensuring there really will be lots for hirers and contractors to see and talk to the McHale team about on their stand.
Presented in association with MCS Rental Software and Husqvarna, the show has been designed to match the needs of a rapidly expanding and increasingly technology-focused rental market.
Sean Ryan, Sales and Marketing Manager at McHale Plant Sales said, “We are looking forward to meeting plant and tool hirers from across the country, to discuss how we can support their business. Providing quality products and back-up service alongside great finance deals to boost revenue growth and cost reduction for our customers”.
HIREland Event Director Brian Coogan said, “We are delighted to confirm McHale Plant Sales as an exhibitor at this inaugural event. A talented team, a respected industry name, with another global brand that visitors to the show and from across the country can discover more about.”
