Speedy<\/a> has invested in 130 new electric lifts as it begins a multi-million-pound equipment expansion plan for 2021<\/h2>\n

The firm\u2019s\u00a0Powered Access<\/a>\u00a0business has bought 90 scissor lifts and 40 mast boom units, manufactured by\u00a0Dingli<\/a>, as part of its strategy to expand its range of hybrid and pure electric lifting models, providing contractors with more choice as they work towards net-zero emissions targets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new scissor lifts deliver a max working height of 7.8 metre and 10 metres respectively. The AMWP8100 mast boom lifts offer a working height of up to 11.2 metres.<\/p>\n

Each model provides efficient zero-emission battery power, in a compact form-factor, making them suitable for a variety of working at height tasks including maintenance and installation projects.<\/p>\n

The Powered Access division of Speedy was launched in November 2020 following the merger of Speedy\u2019s acquired powered access firms Lifterz, Platform Sales & Hire and Prolift.<\/p>\n

Completing projects sustainably and efficiently<\/h3>\n

Andy Briggs, managing director at Speedy Powered Access<\/a>, said: \u201cWe are continuing to see strong demand for our powered access equipment<\/a> and this investment will provide our customers with greater availability of our core, versatile models that are supporting them in reducing their environmental impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis marks the beginning of what will be another year of significant investment for our business. We have built a strong, UK-wide proposition and look forward to expanding our fleet with the assets our customers need to complete their projects safely, sustainably and efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n

The equipment is available from the firm\u2019s\u00a011 Powered Access Specialist Service Centres, located across the UK.<\/p>\n
