PUBLISHING SCHEDULE
Serving the tools, equipment and compact plant hire market, with current revenues estimated at £1.74 billion according to our Tool Hire Top Ten 2012 financial analysis, EHN has an unrivalled reputation at the heart of hire. Having celebrated our 40th Anniversary issue in November last year, EHN continues to help set our industry’s agenda and, based on the quality, independence and integrity of our editorial coverage, is our industry’s trusted information provider.
 Our 2012 Editorial Programme will continue to monitor product developments within established markets, as well as identifying emerging niche opportunities. For 2012 we are maintaining our publishing schedule of producing two issues in each quarter throughout the year.
EDITORIAL MARKET REPORTS
April/May Issue - Low Level & Powered Access

Equipment designed to enable work at height to be undertaken safely is consistently amongst the items of greatest demand for hirers and end users, particularly for low level work. We will provide an update on the latest products available, such as podiums, steps, ladders and mobile tower systems. We will also consider the latest developments in powered access for hire fleets, including compact scissor lifts, spider platforms and trailer-mounted booms.
 June Issue - Power Tools & Consumables and Hillhead Preview

and Safety & Health Expo.
 July/August Issue
- Landscaping, Gardens & Grounds Care
(to be mailed Monday 23 July)
Rather than buying a new house, many homeowners are improving their existing properties, leading to demand for equipment enabling them, and contractors they employ, to undertake garden improvements. We will consider new products for maintaining lawns, hedges, trees and landscaped areas, as well as machinery for more specialist work such as chippers, and compact plant, together with appropriate attachments. We will also highlight new equipment being launched at IOG Saltex.
›› Reviews of Hillhead and the Vertikal Days lifting event will also be included in this issue.
 September Issue - Power Generation and Survey Equipment
(to be mailed Tuesday 4 September)
Manufacturers continue to meet demand for products that not only provide temporary power reliably, but which also address environmental needs in terms of reduced noise, lower emissions and improved fuel consumption. As well as reporting on the latest developments, our coverage will include related items like fuel containment products and transportation solutions.
A second Market Report will consider the latest site survey products, from laser levels and distance meters, to theodolites and total stations, designed to meet the needs of a growing hire market.
 October Issue - Heating & Lighting and Welfare Units
(to be mailed Monday 8 October)
With the onset of autumn, EHN will evaluate new equipment designed to enable people to work in the colder, darker conditions. We will report on the latest technological developments, such as the new breed of mobile lighting towers with LED lighting heads, heaters designed for optimal energy usage, and other products combining efficiency and durability with enhanced performance and safety. Relevant ancillary items such as cables, extension reels and transformers will be included.
Following the emergence of the successful ‘Cabin Central’ display at the Executive Hire Show, we will also include an update on the latest welfare units available. This will highlight developments such as the addition of solar panels and wind turbines, and systems for low energy consumption, along with site equipment addressing the Health & Safety requirements of personnel, such as showers, hand wash facilities and other portable sanitation products.
›› A review of new plant and equipment launched at IOG Saltex appropriate for hire fleets will also be included.
 November/December Issue - Compact Plant & Plant Trailers
(to be mailed Monday 12 November)
Demand has remained strong for construction machinery that combines a small footprint with powerful performance for greater productivity on new-build projects and maintenance work, as well as home extensions in areas with difficult access.
EHN will focus on the latest micro excavators, standard and zero/reduced tail swing minis, compact dumpers and carriers, skid steer and small wheel loaders, and other relevant machines such as compact telescopic handlers.
Our review will include attachments designed to increase the versatility and earning potential of these units, along with wear parts, tracks and other essential consumables.
New for 2012, this Market Report will encompass trailers appropriate for moving plant and machinery to site, safely and efficiently.
MUCH MORE
EHN is much more than just a compelling series of Market Reports. Issue by issue, we will discuss relevant industry topics, such as on-going new legislation, and we provide a platform for hirers and suppliers to express their views and opinions. We will also preview, visit and review leading industry exhibitions, led by the Executive Hire Show, which was built on the platform of EHN. Our January/February issue is dedicated to providing a comprehensive Preview of the Show and our Review issue is published in March.
Quite simply, EHN remains unrivalled as the trusted information provider, and continues to be the Passionate Voice of our Hire Industry. |
