Spider moves into Panama

The Spider division of SafeWorks has opened a new operation centre in Panama City, Panama, providing swing stage/suspended platform rentals, sales, service and safety solutions.

The new location, Spider de Panama, is the company’s 25th in Central America and according to Spider, features a brand new fleet of top-of-the-line swing stage and safety solutions.

Mike Gibbs, area director southern region and overseer of Spider de Panama, said: “Central and South America are thriving economies that Spider has always served. Expanding our direct rental presence in these regions helps to improve the suspended access capabilities and more importantly, the personnel safety at height for these emerging commercial, industrial and wind power sectors.”

John Sotiroff, vice president, sales and distribution, added: “Our experienced team in Panama positions Spider for continued expansion of turnkey access product and service solutions in the Americas. With construction markets in flux, reliable equipment and trusted, expert service are more valuable than ever.”
