Wernick Hire is making an investment of what is reported to be more than £5m in new eco-friendly Groundhog welfare units from Genquip, comprising 110 mobile models and 100 static units over the next 18 months.
The new additions are from Genquip’s Fusion Pulse 30 range, designed to celebrate 30 years since the first Groundhog welfare unit was produced for the UK hire market. They incorporate solar technology to reduce the amount of carbon emitted on sites and to minimise fuel bills for users.
Genquip’s Sales & Marketing Manager, Peter Beach, who is pictured (left) with the hirer’s Deputy MD, Jonathan Wernick, said: “Wernick Hire’s clients will experience an up to 80% reduction in their carbon emissions through the use of hybrid generators and solar panels. They will also benefit from the Groundhog Shield Telemetry system which allows the units to be tracked and monitored on a daily basis. “
