4874 Ashtree Glass will be showing its new range of ‘E’ approved mirror arms and mounting brackets to go with their previously launched ‘E’ mirrors.

The mirrors and their attachments, which the company says move away from wide angle ‘fish eye’ type mirror designs, reflect the latest European standard visibility requirements for telehandlers.

Ashtree says the mirror arms and mounting brackets ensure ‘E’ mirrors can be adjusted to the best possible position to eliminate operator blindspots. As well as being tested, and already fitted, on OE machinery across Europe, these products are readily available for use as replacements or upgrades for machinery already in service.

Alan Roper, managing director of Ashtree Glass, said: “With over 30 years’ experience, we now offer the most comprehensive range of mirrors and mirrors arms available today, including options such as  heated mirrors and mirrors with unbreakable lenses. We can also design and develop bespoke products to meet exact customer specifications.”

    Michelin previewed its new X Crane+ tyre at INTERMAT. The new radial tyre has an ‘F’ speed rating allowing each tyre to carry a payload of 6,700kg at speeds of up to 80km/h. This means the tyre allows cranes between 35 to 1,200tonnes, which often have up to 12 axles each carrying 12tonnes, to run at 80kmh – common in the UK and some other markets.
