Our finance help schemes launched last December are still running and proving to be a popular option. There are two available plans; HP plan incorporating a payment holiday and Operating Lease, and will be running throughout the first quarter of 2017. Below are some examples of the weekly prices you can now have a machine for. A complete list of models covered by the new schemes, including options of payments over 3 and 5 years can be found by visiting the Finance Section of the website www.aandygroup.com/finance With the current uncertainty over the economy and the purse strings being tightened we see these options as a great and affordable way of being able to take on new Yanmar and Ammann machinery. We will be at the Executive Hire Show next week where our team will happily discuss a financial package to suit your individual needs. If you can't attend the show but still would like further information on any of our machines and the deals you can currently running on our ranges then please get in touch: sales@aandygroup.com / 01789 414525

 In Part 2 of our Executive Hire Show preview we will be looking at the Ammann compaction equipment as well as Cormidi tracked carriers that will be found on our stand. The show is on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th February at Coventry's Ricoh Arena. Once again A&Y will be exhibiting on stand B45, showing a range of equipment suited to the Hire industry. If you would like to read Part 1 of our preview please follow the link HERE We look forward to seeing you at the show  ARX 12 The Ammann ARX 12 Tandem Roller is a light, articulated ride-on roller that works flush against curbs and other obstructions and eliminates the need for special edge compaction efforts. Double-drive and double-vibration are standard and help deliver optimum compaction results. An electric drive-lever makes for smooth starting and stopping and is among the reasons the roller is popular with operators. Other operator benefits include a rubber-mounted platform that limits vibration and an intuitive instrument panel to help make even an inexperienced operator successful. The ARX 12 is built with high quality, long-lasting components that reduce the cost of ownership over the lifetime of the machine. It is reliable, economical, safe and fuel efficient.  Rammax 1575 The 1575 features an articulation joint with oscillation, providing perfect ground contact and optimal compaction results. The oscillation feature also reduces the chances of tipping. The Trench roller and its padfoot drum provide results, even where other compactors have failed. Its ability to work in cohesive soils can prevent the need for soil removal and replacement, providing a significant financial impact. Two steering cylinders help make the 1575 responsive and precise. The remote controlled operation relies on line of sight and improves on site safety.  Rammers and Compaction Plates We will have a selection of compaction plates and two rammers situated on our stand. The plates will be from our forward moving and reversible ranges, both of which prove very popular to hire companies throughout the UK and Ireland. We will be unveiling a brand new product at the show, the Ammann ATR30 rammer. This 29kg rammer with a 3 inch foot and Honda 4 stroke engine is very maneuverable and easy to use, whilst still giving strong compaction outputs for a machine this size.  Cormidi Tracked Dumpers
Two of these versatile tracked dumpers will be situated on our stand. The C6.60 and the C13.85. Both models come with the Hi-tip feature, perfect for dumping over the side of skips or walls, and have articulating 'rocking rollers', meaning constant ground contact. Other features include:
 Once again this year we will be bringing a number of key machines suited to the hire industry to the Executive Hire Show. With just over two weeks until the doors to the show open (8th & 9th of Feb) all plans are finalised and we are excited to bring you a mix of popular current machines and some brand new models, never seen before in the UK. In Part 1 of our show preview we will highlight some advantages of the Yanmar excavators we will be showing. These will be completed with attachments from manufacturers such as Whites Material Handling and Rhinox Buckets. Looking forward to seeing you there!  SV08 The Yanmar SV08 is a powerful micro excavator, weighing just over 1 tonne, that is ideal for use in landscaping, indoor renovation, housing foundations and pipe laying. A key factor that makes this machine so well suited to these fields is mobility; expandable track width (680mm - 840 mm) allows the SV08 to travel through tight spaces, such as doors but also aid stability when digging. It's ultra small rear turning radius (just 305mm overhang) provides higher efficiency in narrow passages and spots. Performance of this excavator isn't lessened due to size. The powerful, 10.2 hp, interim Tier 4 engine is environmentally friendly with clean exhaust and very low noise. As well as this the boom is fitted with a dual action auxiliary circuit (PTO), enabling users to add various accessories. All of which is protected by strong external covers and shields, in fact the flexible hoses have been carefully centrally routed to eliminate twisting problems.  ViO12 - NEW This zero tail swing excavator has an operating weight of 1235 kg and the longest undercarriage of its class with 1440 mm. The extendable undercarriage from 830 mm to 1000 mm gives the machine excellent stability as well as a smooth operation. With the highest working forces of its category, the ViO12 will bring you the efficiency you need in an ultra-compact machine. This excavator differs from the SV08 not only in weight and tail-swing but also the operating controls. The use of joysticks on both sides of the seat enables to improve the position of the operator, therefore enhancing their comfort while working. With the joysticks, the operator also has a better control over the machine movements. Maneuverability, productivity and precision are increased. Yanmar decided to use the same tried and tested joysticks as for its heavier mini-excavators. The use of this well-developed system reduces the risk of damages and downtime, whilst increasing the service life.  ViO17 Again a zero tail swing excavator with an extendable undercarriage (950 mm - 1280 mm.) This 1.7 tonne, canopy machine is popular in both urban and country environments. Yanmar's progressive 3 pump VIPPs hydraulic circuit allows for increased working speed as well as smoother operation. Yanmar's reliability is found in this machine through the clean and quiet TNV engine, well routed central hoses, ROPS frame, large rear bonnet and well protected cylinders. The operator is conformatbale in a spacious work area, with a second speed pedal making combination usage easier.  SV26 One of the most popular excavators in our Yanmar construction range is the SV26. This reduced tail swing mini excavator is currently being run by many operators throughout the UK and Ireland, from national hire companies to single person operators and everything in between. One strength lies in the optimal combination of performances; low fuel consumption, minimum maintenance and exclusive standard features such as a knob for proportional control of auxiliary hydraulic circuits, allowing for a precise and smooth use of accessories. With further features such as; full cylinder protection, a transport weight of 2600kg (rubber tracks), LED integrated boom light, Yanmar TNV engine and an incredibly low ground pressure of just 0.33kg//cm². Its not hard to see why this consistently proves to be a popular excavator. In Part 2 on Friday we will concentrate on the Ammann Compaction products and Cormidi tracked dumpers that will complete our stand.
A combination of factors create industry-leading compaction output. They include the Ammann vibratory system, varied amplitude settings and machine design that drives the energy into the material and away from the operator. Compaction is about reaching your goals in the fewest passes possible. Ammann soil and asphalt compactors provide that needed efficiency through industry-leading technology and an ability to direct more force toward the target and away from the machine. The result: quality results in fewer passes and a more productive and profitable job-site. The below video will show you how Ammann's vibration system works and the differences amplitude and frequency can have on the surface being compacted. You can see all of our Ammann Compaction products by viewing the Ammann Compaction Equipment Page HERE We offer 4 models of Yanmar excavators with an operating weight of 8 tonne and above. Two of these machines are zero tail swing (ViO) and two have a semi zero swing (SV). One thing about the Yanmar midi-excavators is that each one is different and has it's own niche. A prime example of this is how the 10 tonne, SV100 and the 8 tonne, ViO80 differ. In many cases a 10 tonne machine is just a pumped up version of the 8 tonne, with a large counterweight on. However to see the ViO80 and SV100 parked side by side the differences become clear (as shown in the below images). The whole undercarriage on the 10 tonner is larger, making the height, width and length of the machine greater. This will clearly also increase the dig depth and reach as well as working forces. ViO80-1 A true concentrate of technology and innovation, ViO80-1 offers the performance of a large excavator while enjoying the benefits of a compact excavator. Designed to work effectively on a wide variety of sites, it combines compactness, power, versatility, comfort and reliability. Based on our unique experience and expertise, Yanmar technology ensures excellent performance while respecting the environment. The ViO80-1 combines power, flexibility and precision. Its versatility makes it the ideal partner to improve your productivity, regardless of the work site complexity you are facing (excavation, grading, demolition, backfilling etc). B7 Sigma-6 With its unique boom the B7-6 is able to work where no other excavator can: efficient when working at height but also when digging below the dividers between the shoring plates of a trench. Perfect to excavate in urban environments, its unique boom reduces truck rotations when loading or unloading: the bucket can go in the corners of the truck easily. The B7-6 is also very stable and its boom is very resistant due to the high tensile steel from which it is made of. High tensile steel is 1.5 times stronger than ordinary steel and is lighter which improves the weight distribution of the machine. SV100-2 The SV100-2 is the only 10-ton midi-excavator with short tail swing that can operate in jobsites where other 10-ton machines have difficulties. Extremely compact, with a short tail swing, it enables you to work in narrow areas with high performances thank to its VICTAS and VIPPS systems and this with always more attachments. Its high-power, eco-friendly engine with electronically-controlled water-cooled EGR system reduces air-polluting oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and its auto-deceleration mechanism lowers engine speed when not in operation, reducing your fuel consumption. SV100-2 Piece Boom Yanmar introduces its first model with an articulated boom: the SV100 2-Piece Boom. This type of configuration originates from heavy wheeled excavators and improves drastically the performance in lifting, moving and placing loads. The improvement results from the added articulation in the boom. This improves the maneuverability and ability to place a load with precision. Furthermore, it improves also the load chart from the machine by as much as 45% in some areas of the load chart. The additional weight due to the articulated boom configuration has been limited to 845 kg. These all benefits to the outstanding lifting ability of the SV100 2-Piece Boom. The above shows a brief paragraph from Yanmar themselves on each of the midi-excavators. You can view our page dedicated to these models by clicking HERE.
If you would like any further details then please give A&Y a call on 01789 414525  Weighing-in at 1475kg and packing a punch of 23kN of compaction capability, the Ammann ARX 12 is ideally suited to working in close-proximity environments. One of the key selling features of the Ammann ARX12 tandem roller is it's ability to work flush up against a vertical surface, such as a kerb or wall. Thus eliminating the age old hassle of having to finish the job off with a hand operated compactor such as a plate. Not only saving time but money as well, it may mean the ARX12 can complete the job without the need for any additional compactors.  The ARX 12 is fitted with a pressurised water sprinkling system featuring an interval timer and a three-stage filtration system, supplied from a large-capacity 110-litre water tank, providing enough water for at least one day's work. Power is supplied to the ARX 12 by a three-cylinder Yanmar 3TNV76 diesel engine producing 15.0kW (20.4hp) and has a maximum road speed of 8kph. The machine is packed with features that not only make it a easy to handle but make it safe to operate as well. The following is taken from a recent review of the ARX12 roller, we will have one on our Executive Hire Show stand next month, so come and have a look if attending. "Upon selecting one of two engine-speed settings on a lever situated on the right-hand side of the steering column, travelling in a forward or reverse direction is performed by moving the electric-drive lever in the direction you want to travel. The lever is situated to the right of the operator and also houses the drum vibration controls, which are operated by a blue and a red button on the side of the lever. A clever bit of mechanical engineering automatically ceases the vibrating function momentarily before the machine responds to the command to change direction (forward-reverse or vice-versa) eliminating those annoying 'scallops' that customarily get left in the work surface when traditional vibrating rollers change direction. At the risk of sounding clichéd, we found the Ammann ARX 12 to be packed with features too numerous to mention."  A range of Ammann ARX light tandem rollers  Next month's Executive Hire Show in Coventry will be the first time a Yanmar ViO12 mini excavator is being displayed in the UK. This zero tail swing excavator has an operating weight of 1235 kg and the longest undercarriage of its class with 1440 mm. The extendable undercarriage from 830 mm to 1000 mm gives the machine excellent stability as well as a smooth operation. With the highest working forces of its category, the ViO12 will bring you the efficiency you need in an ultra-compact machine. Further features of this new machine include:  Improved machine controls The use of joysticks on both sides of the seat enables to improve the position of the operator, therefore enhancing his comfort while working. With the joysticks, the operator also has a better control over the machine movements. Manoeuvrability, productivity and precision are increased. Yanmar decided to use the same tried and tested joysticks as for its heavier mini-excavators. This well developed system offers the following features: Less risk of damages and downtime, longer service life.  High Performance Unlike industry standards for this category of machines, Yanmar is using variable axial piston pump which adapt the flow and the pressure to the load, allowing smoother operation and improving the comfort of the operator. The pump flow of 2 x 11 l/mn and its high working pressure (210 bar) also enable to improve the productivity of the machine and its speed in working motion. The attention paid to the quality of the power line ensures excellent performance while the optimal combination of the ViO12 excavation strengths and work cycles assures exceptional productivity.
If you're attending the show then please come and see us on stand B45 to take a look at the ViO12, as well as the variety of other equipment being show.
If you can't make the show but would like further information on this digger then please give one of us a call on 01789 414525 The APF 1033 is the lightest unit in the range of forward directional vibrating plates and ideally suited for compaction work in confined spaces. With the folding handle and an operating weight of just 54kg this unit is easily transported, even in a passenger car, making it the perfect machine for garden and landscape contractors as well as light construction work. A compaction force of 10.5 kN means high performance levels are still reached, even from such an easily maneuverable plate. One of the reasons these plates are popular choices for many hire firms across the UK and Ireland. Further reasons behind the popularity also include:

Here is a brief run down of what is coming over the next 12 months: Finance Our current finance help schemes were launched a few week ago and already have proved very popular with enquires coming in on a daily basis. These schemes are set to run throughout the first quarter of 2017 and we believe they are a very competitive way to take new machinery. For example a new 120mm ARX12 tandem roller starts from as little as £58 per week! You can view the breakdown in pricing plans by clicking the link here - aandygroup.com/finance   New Machines
During 2017 we look forward to bringing you news of new product releases from Ammann, Yanmar and Cormidi. Due to the much publicised Yanmar takeover of the Terex excavators last year, we will be bringing new machines soon. These will include wheeled loaders and excavators, an area we believe can be a strength for Yanmar. This is in addition to the constant improving and upgrading of the current excavator range. On the compaction side the lighter equipment, including plate compactors are having a facelift and we will bring you further news of that later in the year. Shows Our main show focus in 2017 will once again be the Executive Hire Show and Plantworx. The Hire Show taking place next month in Coventry will be a chance to see a range of equipment up to 5 tonnes, with the larger Plantworx show having a wider array of our kit, including a demo area where some of the earlier mentioned new machinery will be working.
