GT Access has expanded its spider lift fleet by investing in six new Hinowa tracked spider booms.
The haul comprises three Hinowa Lightlift 17.75 Performance IIIS platforms and three Hinowa Lightlift 20.10 Performance IIIS models.
GT Access sales director Steve Moody said, “The whole life cost of Hinowa platforms is less than their rivals because their resale value is so much higher. So, customers are very pleased to be able to hire quality platforms, and it’s a very sensible investment decision. That’s an important win-win for us.”
The firm has had Hinowa spider lifts in its fleet since 2011, and currently offers four models: the Hinowa Goldlift 15.70; Hinowa Lightlift 17.75; Hinowa Lightlift 20.10; and the Hinowa Lightlift 26.14 Performance IIIS.
Linda Betts, key accounts director at Access Platform Sales, the UK and Ireland authorised dealer for all Hinowa machines, added, “Hinowa works extremely hard to maintain and improve the performance standards that set its platforms apart. It means we’re confident GT Access will continue to realise the advantages that make them an excellent access rental investment choice.”
The Hinowa Lightlift 17.75 spider booms have a maximum working height of 17.05m and a maximum horizontal outreach of 7.5m. For the Hinowa Lightlift 20.10, the working height is 20.1m and outreach 9.7m. Both platforms have a travel width of 795mm and a travel height of 1,996mm, so they can tracked through narrow doorways, gates and archways, and along paths to otherwise difficult-to-reach sites. Both also have unrestricted basket capacities of 230kg.
GT Access has selected bi-energy versions of the spider lifts, powered either by low-emissions diesel engines or cabled 110v mains electricity.
