Hird is delighted to announce it has been appointed as the UK distributor for 3B6.
3B6 designs and produces electronic systems including load monitoring systems, focussing primarily on cranes, lifting equipment and plant machinery.
It is a member of the COBO Group of companies, a world leader in the design and manufacture of integrated systems and components for off-road vehicles.
3B6 systems and load devices are incorporated in the products of many well know crane and machinery manufacturers.
As well as working with these companies, Hird will now be able to offer the same high quality service for the retrofitting of load monitoring devices, including load cells, on all machinery.
Retrofitted 3B6 load measuring systems can be installed on:
- Mobile cranes
- Excavators

- Telescopic handlers
- Pick and carry cranes
- Dump trucks
- Drilling and pilling machines
- Wheel loaders

- Knuckle boom cranes
Hird can offer full after-sales parts and service support, using factory-trained mobile service engineers, plus a calibration and installation service across the UK, via our three depots, covering northern England and Scotland, central England and Wales, and southern England.
With our national test facilities we can carry out over-night testing of major components to reduce equipment down-time and the need for service call-outs.
