Trime goes T-ZERO – Diesel-Free Lighting and Power by 2025

Could all contractor and hire firms soon have access to fossil fuel free construction machinery? This is the proposition put forward by the Trime Group, a leading manufacturer of site lighting, power generation, and associated equipment with their exciting new initiative, T-ZERO PRO. In line with some leading car manufacturers, the company states that they have begun to phase out fossil-fuel equipment and, by 2025, only offer emission-free machinery. The Trime Group have been designing and building a range of environmentally centred equipment for the past six years from their production facilities based near Milan, Italy. Their X-ECO LED lighting tower has become a worldwide best-seller in the hire, construction, utility, mining, rail and events markets. The X-ECO LED uses long-life LED lamps and is designed to be economically fuel efficient. Following on from the success of the X-ECO LED, Trime began engineering a complete range of sustainable lighting towers each combining energy-saving, emission-reducing features. Trime now has an extensive line of battery-hybrid, solar-hybrid and solar-only lighting towers that are distributed around the world through their global dealer and distributor network. A company within the Trime Group, Tekno Proget, manufactures power generation machinery from 4.5 to 670.0kVA for a variety of applications. With the demand for carbon-reducing and low fuel consumption machinery increasing at a rapid pace, Tekno Proget has added a range of battery-hybrid and solar-hybrid power generators into their portfolio. This line currently features single-phase sets, 3.5 kVA, 6.00kVA, 10.00kVA and three-phase generators, 25.0kVA, 45.0kVA, 60.0kVA with 100kVA units soon to be made available. Tekno Proget equipment is available worldwide. The Trime Group now plans to go even one step further with the introduction of their T-ZERO PRO power module. This advanced system is centred on building a specially designed battery pack that brings together seamless long run times with quick recharging. The T-ZERO PRO power module produces zero noise, zero vibration, uses zero fuel with zero emissions. The batteries are designed to fit on to the outside of the equipment, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively thus preventing overheating, and possible shutdowns. The T-ZERO PRO system is intended to replace many of the diesel, gasoline and LPG powered engines currently fitted to machinery used on construction sites. The Trime T-ZERO PRO system is nearing the end of a testing phase and will soon move into full production. The Trime Group is a market leader in the manufacture and supply of environmentally sustainable equipment for the hire, construction, event, rail and utility markets. Trime UK is headquartered in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire; their manufacturing plant is based near Milan, Italy. There are Trime dealers and distributors throughout the world.

CP Hire Invest in New LED Lighting Fleet

One of Northern Ireland’s leading plant and equipment hire organisations have announced that they have invested in a fleet of environmentally positive lighting sets that have been manufactured by Trime, the lighting tower specialists. CP Hire has made an order for the Trime X-ECO LED model of products that has a number of sustainable features that can deliver significant cost savings as well as fuel efficiency benefits for the owner of the lighting and the end user. The X-ECO LED products manufactured by Trime have been tested by Trime engineers and it is thought that the product range uses around £336 less each month in fuel in comparison to many other light sets that are available. These fuel savings are also the equivalent of a reduction in CO2 output by around 888 kg each month. CP Hire is based in Coleraine and has been working to supply a wide range of plant and machinery since 1971. The latest order made by the company is their most recent move into the LED lighting market. Andrew Hutchinson, CP Hire’s Managing Director, has said that the company are acting on the very clear demand in the market for LED lighting, which is expected to only increase. Therefore, CP Hire are working to ensure that they remain at the front of the market with the purchase of this fleet of environmentally positive lighting sets. The order has been supplied by the Cambridgeshire-based Trime UK Limited through their Northern Ireland dealer, Glendun Plant sales Limited. Glendun Plant Sales in the dealer and distributor of a variety of plant and equipment, the company became a Trime UK distributor for their lighting towers in February of this year. Trime UK is thought to be the UK market leader in the supply of engine driven LED lighting towers.
