CW takes large Airo scissors
UK rental company Charles Wilson Engineers has ordered the first two 62ft Airo XL19E scissor lifts in the UK from local distributor Aerial and Handling Services.
Scheduled for delivery at the end of the month, the fully electric scissor lifts offer a working height of 19.2 metres with a 500kg platform capacity. Features include a double deck platform, automatic levelling jacks, 20 percent gradeability and a 16 metre driveable height. The new units will primarily be used at TV and film studios.
UK and Ireland dealer Aerial and Handling Services, said: “We are delighted that CW Plant has chosen to invest in Airo. Although initially slightly reticent to introduce a new brand into its fleet, the company were able to see the quality, passion and commitment demonstrated following a visit to the factory in Italy.”

Hi Barry,
Airo have been manufacturing MEWP's for over 30 years, this isn't new equipment, unproven or unknown, Germany is a large market for Airo and they've been there for many years.
I will be interested to see how these work in the fleet. Genuine site use and operational work will show the true ability of these units in the hire fleet. Well done CW again!!
Realist
Congratulations Ian!
