An annual exhibitor whose display becomes increasingly larger and more attractive from year-to-year, their exhibits this year (at Block 4, Row 14, stand 267) will reflect the deepening relationship that now exists between McHale and contractors in the agricultural, forestry, land management and groundworks sectors. Frontline manufacturers whose latest machines will feature are:
Komatsu WA Wheel Loaders
Komatsu units from the popular WA wheel loader series will include a WA320-8 alongside a smaller unit from its compact range. Favourite amongst agricultural contractors, the heavy-duty WA320 is specified for agricultural use and comes complete with hydraulic quick-release hitch, folding fork attachment for silage harvesting and heavy duty bucket for grain storage and bulk materials handling. Other features include EU stage V engine, Komatsu SmartLoader logic, hydrostatic drive line and auto idle shutdown. Operator comfort is provided via a low noise design cab with air suspended seat and multifunction monitor.

Komatsu Excavators
Contractors seeking to extend their own reach into construction, drainage, pipe laying, hedge thinning, fence building and other farm applications will be able to check out the Komatsu PC138USLC-11 short tail swing excavator.
Komatsu Utility
Also to the fore will be a full lineup of Komatsu mini diggers, midi diggers and utility equipment – including a PC16MR-3, PC26MR-5, PC55MR-5 and PC80MR-5. Each comes with a range of useful attachments including Komatsu rock breakers, Gripen log grabs and Prinoth mulchers. Also exhibiting will be two units from the Komatsu skid steer range – an SK715 and its larger brother, the SK820.
Komatsu Forest
A machine likely to appeal to forestry contractors will be a unit brand new to the Irish market in the shape of the largest harvester in the range – the 25 tonne, eight wheel 951XC.
Prinoth
Other ‘must see’ exhibits attractive to contractors across the board are Prinoth tracked dumper and mulcher units whose uses are as diverse as forest floor renewal and landscape preservation, groundworks and reclamation of forest sites, vegetation management, biomass harvesting, hydro-excavation and costal erosion, amongst many.
Exhibiting will be the largest in the 360 degree rotating dumper range, the T14R, alongside the remote controlled Raptor 100 mulcher, complete with heavy duty mulching head.
Equipped with the appropriate job-specific attachment, Prinoth vehicles are at home also in wind and electric power transmission projects, oil and gas pipe laying, construction, environmental protection, firefighting and rescue, mining and drilling, forestry and crew transportation.
