The AFI group of companies has invested in an additional 100 Versalift 13.50m Van Mounted Cherry Pickers to meet the demand from the utilities and infrastructure sectors.
The vans can work in many industries but are in particular demand from AFI and Facelift customers who are supporting the UK infrastructure.They weigh under 3.5t they can be driven on a normal car licence and require an IPAF 1B to operate.
The new Versalift 13.5m Van Mounted Cherry Pickers are perfect for work that requires greater horizontal outreach than the other Van Mounts, because, thanks to its larger turret, it can give almost a full metre extra (0.70m) of extra reach. This makes it ideal for those infrastructure jobs which are low to the ground but difficult to gain direct access to, such as jobs behind walls, or roadside signage. The articulating basket will ensure the greatest flexibility when most needed and all vans are fitted with an on-board ultraviolet disinfecting light that will destroy up to 99.9% of germs.
David McNicholas, CEO of AFI-Uplift said: "Since we made the decision to purchase the original order of Versalift VTL135 van mounted platforms we have seen exceptional customer demand and excellent feedback about the product. This latest order demonstrates our confidence in the market and product as we seek to service customers who support the maintenance of the UK infrastructure."
