Construction News Image
Komatsu distributor McHale Plant Sales has confirmed that models from the all-new EU Stage V compliant SK715-8, SK815-8 and SK820-8 range of skid steer loaders are now available in Ireland.

The new 'Dash 8' range comes with a spacious cabin, high torque engines that deliver quick acceleration, and what Komatsu calls 'miserly' fuel consumption with minimal carbon footprint.

Replacing the outgoing Dash-5 model, this latest version is said by McHale Plant Sales director, Denis McGrath to deliver "faster movements, faster operations and a more rewarding driving experience".
