30 Second Briefing
H. E. Services has invested more than £1m in Sany electric plant, taking delivery of four STH625E fully electric telehandlers plus SY19E (1.9t) and SY35E (4.5t) excavators for its hire fleet. The STH625E lifts 2,500kg to 6m, with an overall width of 1,850mm and cab height of 1,920mm, targeting confined urban and indoor sites where low noise and zero exhaust are critical. Up to eight hours’ runtime, energy recovery, multi-mode charging, a 10-inch touchscreen and reversing camera will interest contractors planning site power and duty cycles.
Technical Brief
- H. E. Services’ initial batch comprises four Sany STH625E units, indicating multi-unit deployment from day one.
- Investment exceeds £1m across Sany electric telehandlers and excavators, signalling a sizeable fleet decarbonisation commitment.
- Order bundles STH625E telehandlers with SY19E 1.9‑tonne and SY35E 4.5‑tonne electric excavators for hire.
- Fully electric configuration removes local exhaust emissions, simplifying compliance on enclosed or partially enclosed workfaces.
- Eight-hour nominal working window demands careful planning of charging around shift patterns and peak utilisation.
- Enclosed cab with HVAC and suspension seat supports longer operator stints on confined or indoor construction tasks.
Our Take
Our database shows H. E. Services also recently expanded its fleet with Bomag compaction rollers and worked on Southern Water projects using Komatsu kit, suggesting this £1m move into Sany electric plant is part of a broader multi-brand, low-emission fleet refresh rather than a single-supplier pivot.
The specific Sany SY19E and SY35E excavators and STH625E telehandlers ordered here mirror the eight-machine electric package taken by B&T Plant Hire in October 2026, signalling that these models are emerging as a de facto standard for UK urban sites with tight noise and emissions constraints.
