Equipment Finders expands fleet with new push-around scissor lifts
Many rental centres around the US, including EFI, are finding that customers are getting on board with the ?ladders last? mentality. Replacing ladders and scaffolding on jobsites with push-around lifts can result in fewer accidents, additional productivity and reduced fatigue.
?Some contractors are under regulations that require them to use push-around lifts onsite,? Hatcher said. ?But now we believe they are finding that push-around lifts are a better solution for what they are doing than what they have used in the past. They are not just using them because they are forced to; they are choosing the machines as a better solution.?
Hy-Brid Lifts push-around lifts have a smaller footprint and numerous features that make them a smart addition for rental centres. The PA-1030 enables users to manually maneuver the unit into place and hydraulically raise and lower to the desired work height. The equipment features a 10-ft platform height and a 16-ft working height. The platform is 41-inch long by 20.5-inch wide, and the total stowed height is only 69 inch.
?Electricians, mechanical contractors and security system contractors are just the beginning of the type of customers who experience the benefits of our push-around lifts,? said Terry Dolan, President and CEO, Hy-Brid Lifts. ?Users can quickly push and relocate the lift without the hassle of maneuvering a ladder or disassembling and assembling scaffolding. The units increase safety on jobsites, and we are dedicated to developing the safest options for operators. It is great to see that EFI?s customers are realising the benefits of low-level access.?
Besides purchasing a large number of PA-1030 lifts, EFI has a variety of other Hy-Brid Lift models in stock. The company also recently placed an order for Hy-Brid Lifts? brand-new PS-1930 lifts.
