Benchmark: van Roon of S-Gravenhage receives the 5,000th Omme Lift from the firm's Dutch distributor Kors Hoogwerk Systemen BV.

The landmark 2500 EBDZ was handed over by Omme to van Roon at a recent meeting in The Netherlands, where the very first Omme machine was also showcased alongside its younger descendent. Now 23 years old, the nine-metre working height unit was produced back in 1981 on request from Westergaard Electrics based in Omme Lift’s native Sonder Omme in Denmark.
