In preparation for the winter season of 2012, Milan Malpensa Airport received 3 Multihog MH90 machines equipped with front-mounted combi brush/plough attachments and rear-mounted de-icing sprayers. The units will be deployed airside to clear snow and ice from the apron/stand areas. Stefano Dolci, Operations Manager, says “We have had sufficient snow to test the Multihogs since they were delivered to us on-site. I drove one of them personally and it was exceptional! Easy to drive, fast and it turns in a very small space. The brush on the combi unit worked brilliantly at removing the snow and left the pavement really clean. I am 100% sure that incorporating the Multihog units into our fleet was the right choice”

 

French publication “Matériel et Paysage” recently published a feature on the Multihog in French ski resorts. The machine was very well received by the resort management team, and impressed many with its power, compact size and traction in the deep snow of the French Alps.

Cork City Council is well-prepared for winter 2012 having recently acquired a Multihog multi-purpose implement carrier. The council first became aware of the machine when the National Roads Authority (NRA) recommended it for winter service duties. The NRA had previously purchased a Multihog to carry out similar duties in the Port Tunnel and found its performance so impressive that they decided to purchase a second machine for use in the Jack Lynch Tunnel.

Prior to purchasing the Multihog, the council relied on contractors to carry out winter services in the city, leaving it exposed to problems with availability of equipment as well as time delays in carrying out vital work. With the Multihog at their disposal, they now have one machine to carry out various tasks following their purchase of attachments including snow plough, salt spreader and de-icer. With the front mounted plough and rear-mounted spreader/de-icer the Multihog becomes a 2-in-1 machine, with both attachments operated by the driver from inside the comfort of the cab. The cab’s 3600 visibility means it is incredibly safe to use. Two drivers operate the Multihog for the council and both enjoy its easy operation and the speed at which they can change attachments.

Kieran Cremin, Duty Engineering Manager at the Jack Lynch Tunnel is delighted with the Multihog:
“Having our own machine to carry out winter duties means that we no longer have to rely on contractors and are now well prepared for the cold snaps which inevitably occur throughout the season. The fact that we can operate the machine as a plough and spreader/de-icer without having to leave the cab and manually switch attachments is easier and safer for our workers. This also saves us time, which in turn reduces costs for the council.” 

Landscape and Amenity Product Update’s August issue features the Multihog in Barneveld, Netherlands where it is responsible for mowing the local sports facilities in the area.

The Multihog was the major attraction at the open day hosted by Basel City Sports Department recently. The multi-purpose machine impressed visitors while mowing grass for FC Basel’s training grounds and is one of two units which were recently delivered to the department for sports pitch maintenance
