Nicks Blog | No arachnophobia for Don with Menzi Muck

[RSS Bot]

A couple of years ago we reported on Don Halvorsen's new business venture Hillside Equipment Rental which is based in Los Angeles but covers all of Southern California. The company specialises in extreme slope work using their Menzi Muck A51 excavator.

Well things have gone from strength to strength for Don, with a consistently full order book, so much so that the business has recently invested in a second larger machine which is an A71 model.

These unique machines which are affectionately known as "spiders", are often used when the terrain is too steep for conventional excavators, or other types of machine like drilling rigs for example.

In the hands of an expert operator, it is said that these machines can be more productive then other machines in the same weight class.
