The MAN chassis includes a rear steering axle and Hydro-Drive – essentially giving four wheel steer and drive performance at speeds of under 30kph – making the machine highly manoeuvrable and well suited for both off-road and inner city applications.

Elev8 was formed last year as part of window cleaning business Cinderella Access, which was established by Jason Machin in 2006. Its fleet now includes CTE and Ruthman truck mounts from 19 to 31 metres working height along with a 19 metre Hinowa spider lift.

Machin said: “We are looking to add another truck mount in order to fill the gap between our existing 31 metre and the new 50 metre platform with a 38 metre unit. We hope to differentiate from other companies by having new, reliable kit instead of remounts.”
