Salko UK, a mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineering provider, has expanded with a new electric plant hire warehouse in Balkholme, near Goole.
Brett Dainton, previously technical engineer at Clarks Vehicle Conversions in Doncaster, has been appointed stores manager for the depot, managing the facility’s inventory alongside Pete Myers, facilities supervisor.
The new bricks and mortar facility will enable M&E contractors to hire sustainable lighting and electrical plant equipment. All products are 100 percent electric, delivering improved reliability, safety and energy efficiency whilst significantly reducing environmental impact.
As well as electrical plant hire, the depot is equipped with specialist welding tools and facilities.
Georgina Wilkinson, chief financial officer at Salko UK, said: “Customer feedback has been central to this investment. While electrification of the vehicle fleet has been a big priority, more widely, the market has been calling for more modern, efficient electric plant hire options and we’ve listened.
“Our new Balkholme site will provide M&E specialists with easy access to the latest equipment – all designed to reduce power consumption and support our clients’ decarbonisation goals.”
