UK’s first Hanix H09D mini-digger goes to Elston Hire

The 2009 national winner was south Lincolnshire farmer Paul Grant who fought off stiff competition to scoop the top prize with his sculpture of Manny the mammoth and family. The nine other regional winners included a lion, Noah’s Ark, a teddy bear and a tractor with trailer. Photo supplied

LANCASHIRE-based Elston Hire is the first UK hirer to take delivery of Hanix’s latest H09D mini-excavator.

Located on a semi-rural site, within easy reach of the motorway network at Eccleston, near Chorley, the family-owned and operated business provides a well-established customer base of hirers with both construction plant and agricultural equipment.

In addition to plant hire, Mark and Sonya Elston run Elston Machinery Ltd – a separate sales dealership handling a number of leading brands, as well as being main dealer for Hanix mini-excavators.

The Hanix H09D’s combination of Kubota super mini range engine and variable piston pump maximises machine power for all kinds of scraping, trenching, loading and groundwork tasks.

Thanks to its hydraulically retractable tracks, the H09D can readily access narrow openings and, with integrated folding ROPS, is able to pass through doorways with low headroom clearance.

Like all Hanix mini-excavators sold in the UK and Ireland, the H09D is Datatag protected as standard and registered under the construction industry equipment security registration scheme – CESAR.
