A massive THANK YOU to everybody who has sponsored. If you would still like to sponsor please follow the link below.
Well what a lovely start to the week. First job for one of our engineers today was at the one and only Emmerdale Studio Experience. Emmerdale was first aired on 16th October 1972 and is still going strong. Originally titled Emmerdale Farm until 1989, then it was simply titled Emmerdale.
The machine we were called to was a Narrow Isle Scissor, this is used in and around the studio to help get the set ready for the world to see. As always our brilliant engineer on one of our mobile workshops had the machine back up and running in no time, so all is good and the show can go on.
Sadly he did not get to meet any of the cast, he was there way too early for that.
Now on to the next, we have to keep the hydraulic world moving.
This year we are fundraising again for Children with Cancer UK.
Chris and Gary on August 4th are going to be riding the Prudential Ride 100.
Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 starts from 05:45 in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, then follows a 100-mile route on closed roads through the capital and into Surrey’s stunning countryside. With leg-testing climbs and a route made famous by the world’s best cyclists at the London 2012 Olympics, it’s a truly spectacular event for all involved. The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 finishes on The Mall in central London.
The week after the ride, Chris will be doing a Wing Walk. Yes that’s right strapped to the wings of a plane whilst in flight, oh my not many would be up for that. The earliest known instance of a wing-walking on a powered aircraft was an experimental flight in England involving a biplane built by Colonel Samuel Franklin Cody in 1911 and it’s still going strong.
But all the training and pain will be worth it to raise funds for this serious cause. Raising money for this worthwhile cause and helping so many children to ring the End of Treatment Bell is our goal. So come on everyone please help us to help these brave children and their families.
All donations are greatly appreciated by all and can be made following our link to
As you are all aware Doncaster Council have ran competition’s in the past to name their machines.
This week we asked our Engineer to grab us some photos of a few of these machines. So just for fun here we are.
We have in alphabetical order:
Brad Grit 
David Plowie 
Dazzle Brush 
Subzero hero 
Usain Salt 
One of today’s jobs was helping to keep cars moving to their new owners around the UK. All 11 cars on the transporter were on their way to a new destination when the hose burst. This left the driver unable to unload. Oh no, that’s not good. But that’s why here at MHS we are only a phone call away, no matter what time of day or night. It didn’t take our engineer long to get the hose repaired and the driver on his way again.
Every vehicle at some point will have indeed been on a transporter. Today transporters can carry up to 11 vehicles.
Their design with hydraulic ramps means each ramp can be lowered or raised giving them a smooth approach.
