Demand for Miller UK’s PowerLatch couplers in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland continues to grow after the company joined forces with dealer McSharry Bros.
McSharry Bros. has recently been appointed as the exclusive Kobelco dealer in the region, with Miller’s PowerLatch couplers now being used across a number of high-profile projects .
Kilcolgan-based civil engineering contractor, Ward and Burke, specified Miller’s PowerLatch couplers to be fitted to its fleet of Kobelco machines, which includes four SK75SR units, two SK140SRLC machines, six SK260SRLC units, four SK350LC machines and one SK500LC. The distinctive Kobelco blue machines will be instantly recognisable on site, where they will be used on a number of utility and water treatment projects, as Ward and Burke painted the dippers of each machine in its own corporate colours.
Fintan McSharry said “We are happy, as are our customers with the Miller couplers; it complements the high quality of the Kobelco machines. We look forward to continuing working with Miller on future projects”
Miller’s PowerLatch coupler, which features its unique TwinLock system to secure both front and rear pins independent of the hydraulic system, allows buckets and other attachments to be changed quickly and safely. Manufactured from high tensile steel for increased strength and designed to be fully compliant with global safety standards, it offers complete reliability and safety on site, while its cast construction makes it up to 20% lighter than comparable products.
With its variable pin centre design, Miller’s PowerLatch couplers offer maximum pin pick-up flexibility for companies operating mixed fleets, which is a great selling point for equipment dealers like McSharry.
