Product of the Month – Genie Z62/40 boom lift
Powered Access • Product of the Month
We have compared a glass vacuum lifter with Brazilian footballer Neymar, so are at perfect liberty to match the extraordinary abilities of the Genie Z62/40 articulating boom lift against a children’s cartoon character from the 1960s. The Genie Z62/40 diesel-powered aerial platform is our first Product of the Month for...

Product of The Month – Winlet 1000 glazing robot

We’re being a bit controversial by suggesting that Brazilian ball kicker-arounder Neymar is not useful. But we are making a...

To be a mini crane or not to be a mini crane? That is the question. To put it in a less Shakespearian way, can a mini crane be too big for its boots? Our Product of The Month for July is the Maeda MC815. It is the largest mini...
