Murphy Plant, a rental company in England, has expanded its fleet with the purchase of 45 X-ECO LED lighting towers from Trime UK.

The units delivered to Murphy Plant are dressed in the company’s “Murphy green” livery and are ready to be sent to sites throughout the country.

Murphy Plant offer everything from small electrical drills to a 135tonne crawler crane, or even specialist equipment within rail, pipelines, tunnelling, marine or ground engineering.

Trime has calculated that the X-ECO LED uses nearly €380 less in fuel each month compared to many traditionally illuminated lighting sets. Also, its sturdy, robust design withstands the rigours of the rental market, said Mike Carpenter, director of Murphy Plant. Meanwhile, critical power supply specialists WB Power Services, based in northern England, has bought 20 of the Trime X-ECO LED towers. The purchase is part of the company’s first venture into the temporary site lighting hire market, said John Campbell, WBPS Hire sales manager.
