Following a £7 million investment into its power division, equipment rental and support services provider Speedy Services says it has doubled the size of its electrical scissor-lift fleet in a £4 million deal.
In what Speedy bosses are calling ‘another landmark investment’, new batches of 19ft and 26ft Skyjack electrical scissor lifts – the SJIII 3219 and SJIII 3226 – have been ordered for the company’s network of depot centres across the UK. According to Speedy, electric scissor lifts are proving to be an increasingly popular alternative to powered-access towers and offer various safety and sustainability benefits for safe working at height.
The companys says the SJIII 3219 and SJIII 3226 both feature: drivability at full height; 90-degree steering with zero inside turning radius for optimum manoeuvrability; dual holding brakes; proportional controls for drive and lift functions; a pothole protection system; an overload sensing system; a lowering warning system; and two-person capacity, which reduces time spent erecting towers and moving between work points.
Andy Connor, Speedy’s supply-chain director, commented: “Skyjack manufactures outstanding electrical scissor lifts, which give users the optimum level of performance and safety. We’re confident that these units, which will be available at our centres across the UK, will meet the needs of those working in aerial lift professions.”
