GAP Strikes Deal With Trime UK

Construction News Image
GAP Hire Solutions has struck a deal with Trime UK for a new set of site lighting towers.

The firm purchased a further two hundred X-ECO LED sets at the recent Executive Hire Show Road Show, held in Glasgow.

This purchase supports GAP's commitment to increase their fleet of X-ECO LED lights, citing the low fuel and carbon emission properties that the X-ECO LED features.

GAP's Green Action Plan document states: "The X-ECO LED from Trime is the most innovative lighting product on the market. Thanks to its LED lamps and automated start/ stop technology, the X-ECO LED uses less than a third of the fuel required to run a standard lighting tower, producing 888kg less CO2 per month as a result."

Commenting on this latest order, Ken Stewart, GAP's Head of Procurement added: "With fuel prices at a premium the cost savings that the X-ECO LED offers makes these sets very popular with our customers. Their popularity and low running costs helped to make the decision to invest further in the X-ECO LED an easy one.

"We now have a hire fleet in excess of 2,000 units offering various models with the X-ECO LED now being the largest single holding. We continue to enjoy a long standing and successful relationship with Trime and their support and service is second to none. The first deliveries of this new order have been received at our depots and immediately went out on hire."

Trime has estimated that a hirer of the X-ECO LED can save as much as 72% in fuel costs, with a corresponding carbon emission reduction.
