Spiders on the mind

We received an email today from a UK based company that has recently taken delivery of a new spider lift and thought it might be good to share it with our other readers.

Dear Vertikal,

My ex-demo Multitel 225 SMX has finally arrived, hand delivered by Melvyn Else. I felt like a kid at Christmas and also rather nervous as it had just sunk in that I had spent over £80,000 in two days, machine, land rover and trailer, up graded training for four of us and the list goes on.

I justified it to myself by these facts, 80k wouldn't pay my mortgage off, a new Overfich Range Rover will plummet like Nick Cleggs popularity and I wasn't getting much for it in the NatWest savings account.

So the process started. Now I'm not the quickest decision maker, you can ask Melvyn Else at Multitel about that, as it took over a year for me to part with the money and I had an informative 40 minute chat with Paul Hyde from Higher Access, but I must say it's been a fantastic move.

Based in the North East, we are a small specialist cleaning /maintenance company specialising in drain jetting & CCTV surveys, industrial cleaning and now anything to do with high level maintenance, gutter cleaning & repairs, inspections, window cleaning etc…

Rider's new Multitel in action

The dilemma was that I needed a machine that would cover the jobs our previous CTE Z20 carried out, towable with a vehicle that could be utilised within other areas of our business and we needed company that would look after us. The spider was the ideal piece of machinery, could be used internally due to its dual power, narrow accessibility, light weight and the fact that it can be used on various terrains.

Although we have only had the machine one month we've managed to get over ten thousand pounds worth of work, and half of it is work we would otherwise have had to pass over if we didn't have a spider lift. Now that’s good business in today’s financial climate.

...And on a taller project

I’ve attached a couple of pictures of our new machine in action.
