Komatsu Sales 'Indicator' Of Economic Rise

A certain indicator that our economy is on the rise can be seen in recent deliveries by Irish Komatsu distributor, McHale Plant Sales.

Particularly notable was the delivery of a giant Komatsu HD605-8 rigid dumper with its 60-tonne payload. The first in Ireland, the delivery was made to Irish Cement’s quarry in Mungret, near Limerick.
