Serge Pauly, from Ameco said: “We chose the JMG MC600 because of its high quality construction and the very compact dimensions. Furthermore the fork attachment gives us the capability to manage heavy loads from the bottom instead saving a lot of space under hook. The maintenance-free AC technology for pump and motor is also an added bonus.”
