Given our commitment to innovating change and protecting our planet, we are thrilled to announce our recent £2.6 million investment in state-of-the-art TracStar® fusion machines from McElroy, with a range of enhancements which hold a number of environmental benefits.

This strategic partnership also aims to enhance reliability and productivity in the utilities sector, further solidifying our position as the UK's largest rental company.

Introducing the TracStar® 900i

The TracStar® 900i is a fusion machine that combines cutting-edge enhancements to give remarkable performance. This machine raises the bar for dependability and efficiency due to its emissions-compliant engines, which consequently generate less noise and offer greater torque for load response. In addition, the CAN bus management system allows for better machine diagnostics and easier troubleshooting, and the numerous hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical modifications contribute towards increased efficiency. Operators also benefit from an integrated software-controlled system that allows them to choose between several automation levels, ensuring accurate results that comply with industry standards.

Enhancing Productivity with the TracStar® 500 Series 3

Our investment also includes the TracStar® 500 Series 3, a self-contained and self-propelled fusion machine designed to consistently produce high-quality PE pipe butt fusion joints. This efficient and reliable machine empowers operators to complete projects swiftly, meeting the demands of the utilities sector effectively.
