Sunbelt Rentals, the UK’s largest rental equipment provider, has invested in an additional eleven X-SOLAR SECURITY towers. This latest acquisition will strengthen their existing stock of CCTV and security equipment available for Sunbelt Rentals’ customers to hire. The X-SOLAR SECURITY towers are manufactured and supplied by the lighting tower specialist, Trime.
Sustainability is a top priority for Sunbelt Rentals. They remain committed to working alongside their customers to reduce their carbon emissions and achieve their own sustainability goals. This latest product investment is a testament to that commitment, aligned with their sustainability strategy, Our Planet.
They initially committed to purchasing twenty-two X-SOLAR SECURITY towers which were immediately livered in the distinctive Sunbelt Rentals green branding and instantly went out on hire, providing increased security at events, site compounds, building sites and more.
Commenting on this latest investment, Ross Gibbons, Sunbelt Rentals Business Unit Director – Safety and Communications – commented, “With these X-SOLAR SECURITY CCTV towers, we selected systems at the higher end of the market to ensure they meet our high standards and reflect the quality and longevity of products associated with Sunbelt Rentals. We also took into account that these products have to withstand transportation to the site and harsh weather conditions.”
“Trime was already one of our trusted partners, who we have worked with over many years regularly utilising their high-quality tower lights, so we know the company meets our expectations when it comes to quality and service. As part of our purchase process, all products must undergo stringent examination in the form of a structured product review to ensure they meet our high standards. Trime ticked all the boxes regarding quality, quantity, cost and guaranteed delivery window. As the UK’s largest rental company, swift turnarounds from our suppliers are important to us as we have to be able to react quickly to our customers’ needs,” added Ross.
The Trime X-SOLAR SECURITY has been designed around the Trime award-winning X-SOLAR lighting towers. The X-SOLAR SECURITY is powered by four solar panels that recharge an internal battery pack which ensures zero emissions and zero noise. The X-SOLAR SECURITY features a 6-metre vertical galvanized manual mast, hydraulically operated for simple rise and fall. The mast is also fitted with a T-Bar head ready to support a choice of security or monitoring equipment. Up to four X-SOLAR SECURITY towers can be fitted onto a single truck. It also has forklift pockets and a central lifting eye to simplify transport and storage.
