Boels UK has purchased 150 units of the X-ECO lighting set from Trime
Boels Rental, the UK division of the Dutch firm Boels, has upgraded its hire fleet with 150 of Trime’s X-ECO LED tower lighting sets.


The deal with Trime, based in the county of Cambridgeshire, England, is the first for Boels UK following their acquisition of Supply UK in April 2017. Boels UK will distribute the units throughout their network of depots for use on construction sites, highway projects and outside events. The UK order follows on from a recent investment of a fleet of X-ECO LED’s by Boels’s parent firm in the Netherlands. Boels Rental now has one of the largest rental fleets of Trime lighting sets in Europe, with over 700 to hire throughout 11 countries, said Gary Darley, national operations manager for Boels UK.

Sustainability is at the heart of the X-ECO LED – compact and energy efficient – making it popular with many rental firms and contractors. Trime have calculated that the X-ECO uses around €375 less in fuel each month, when compared to many lighting sets on the market.
