The LTM 1130-5.1 will be the last to arrive in Ireland following the introduction of the LTM 1150-5.1

Managing director Paul Kavanagh, said: “Our existing LTM 1130s have given years of excellent service, they have been such reliable and popular machines that we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to invest in one of the last ones off the production line.”
