Reduced fuel costs

The Komatsu hybrid excavators use 25% – 40% less fuel than non-hybrid excavators in the same class. As the cost of fuel continues to rise, Brooks Hire believes hybrid machinery will become an increasingly popular option for its clients.

Lower CO₂ emissions

The hybrid excavator is ideal for clients who have a green image and who have a green initiative as part of their corporate principles. The excavators make significant reductions to CO₂ emissions by reduced fuel consumption and higher engine efficiency. What’s good for the environment is also good for the bottom line.

How it works

The environmental and cost benefits do not come at the expense of performance. The hybrid excavator generates electricity each time the operator brings the upper structure to a stop. Energy created by the stopping force of the swing motor stored in a capacitor and then can feed back to assist the upper structure or the engine.

Brooks Hire would like to thank all our clients for their support in 2011 and we hope to see you all in the 2012 draw.
