Meeting growing demand
June 1st 2007 With the Work at Height
Regulations driving forward
the use of small powered
access machines, AFI-Uplift
reports an increase in
demand from companies
wanting to hire units for
lower access work.
For example, a total of 12
AFI Pop-Up machines,
together with three Skyjack
SJ3219 scissor lifts are being
hired by EA Electrical to aid
installation of fire prevention
and alarm systems at the
prestigious Bankside 2/3
development on Southwark
Street behind the Tate
Modern in London. Bovis
Lend Lease is the main
contractor.
Brian McLean, Purchasing
Manager for EA Electrical says
"The Pop-Up meets all our
requirements and is perfect
for the job. These machines
are so user-friendly, versatile
and light that it is possible
that we would be using them
anyway by now, regardless of
the legislation".
Battery-powered, Pop-Up
has a reach height of 3.63m,
a closed height of 1.64m and
a width of just 0.7m,
enabling it to be
manoeuvred into standard
lifts, moved along corridors
and through offices with
ease. More articles from AFI-Uplift Limited: |
