Leading access platform hire specialists Facelift, (part of the AFI group of companies) has announced an investment in 32 VTL-135-F Ford Transit van mounted platforms vans from Versalift UK.
The Versalift Ford Transit van mounted platforms have a working height of 13.5m and a maximum outreach of 8.4m. The investment represents an ongoing commitment to provide AFI’s customer base with premium powered access equipment and is part of a wider ongoing fleet refreshment programme to ensure they have a new, reliable and quality rental fleet.
Nick Higgins, Chief Operating Officer at AFI said: “When looking to expand our self-drive van fleet our main considerations were safety, reliability, performance and after sales support. We turned to the expertise & knowledge of Andy and the Versalift team who took our brief and delivered a package achieving all of our aims. We look forward to receiving the first units in Q4 and have several lined up for long term hire customers already.”
Andy Bray, General Manager-Director at Versalift UK commented: “Since its UK launch early last year, the VTL range has quickly become a market leading product, particularly in terms of product quality, performance and reliability. On behalf of Versalift UK, I am delighted to be supplying AFI Facelift with this order and am confident their investment in the new VTL platforms will meet with expectations. We look forward to supporting the team at AFI Facelift and building a strong working relationship with them.”
The first of the 32 VTL units will be delivered to Facelift in November 2020. The new machines will go straight into the Facelift hire fleet, and on to long-term hire customers. Facelift can be contacted on 0800 521 595.
