Hird Sales is delighted to announce the delivery of a new Oil & Steel Octoplus 17 tracked access platform to Bath-based Idverde UK Ltd, a leading name in grounds maintenance and landscape creation. This marks Idverde’s first Octoplus 17, supplied together with a Brian James plant trailer for transporting to and from site.
The handover, carried out by our Sales and Aftersales Manager Carl Cooper, gave Idverde’s operators Marlon Walter and Jade Whale the opportunity to get hands-on with the Octoplus 17. Both were impressed by its self-levelling, homing, and wall-climbing functions, as well as the ease of setup and smoothness of operation.
Key features of the Oil & Steel Octoplus 17:
- 17m working height with 7.6m working radius
- 250kg basket capacity across the full working envelope
- Diesel engine with 110v/220v electric plug-in motor for versatile power options
- Wireless remote control for safe, precise operation
- 420° turret rotation and basket rotation for maximum access
- Useful Fly jib for extra reach
- All-steel construction for durability
The Octoplus 17’s compact tracked design, advanced controls, and robust build make it ideal for a wide range of tasks in a variety of challenging or uneven terrain – tree surgery, facilities maintenance, streetlighting and signage.
We’re proud to support Idverde UK Ltd as they continue to deliver award-winning landscape and maintenance services across the region.
