UK site dumper specialist Thwaites will show its 300 kg capacity micro dumper at the IRE show, along with three other small models from its dumper range.

The micro dumper is the smallest in Thwaites' range and is just 700 mm wide. It is powered by a Honda engine and incorporates a four-wheel drive for rugged terrain.

Thwaites said the machine is "ideal for a host of applications including construction, landscaping, site maintenance and agriculture".

The company will also show its 1 t capacity High Tip, the 1.5 t Power Swivel and the "robust" 3 t High Swivel. All three feature Linde hydrostatic transmissions and Yanmar engines.
