Largest access order for Clements

UK rental company Clements Plant and Tools is now taking delivery of the largest single order for access equipment that it has ever placed.

The company agreed the order for self-propelled booms with Niftylift at Vertikal Days in June. It includes a number of 50 and 63ft platform height HR17 and HR21 Hybrid 4x4s, along with narrow versions of each – the HR15N and HR17Ns, and finally a number of HR12 narrow bi-energy booms, still one of the most popular products in the rental company’s range.

Tim Ward of Niftylift said: “It’s very pleasing to have such long established customers as Jim (Longstaff) and John (Jennings) investing in our equipment. They totally believe in where we are going and what we are trying to achieve. We invest heavily in our research and development to ensure our equipment is on the very cutting edge of technology. Contrary to popular belief, British manufacturing is very much alive and well.”

Jim Longstaff of Clements added: “For us to not only survive but to grow our business, we need to offer our customers the very best equipment. For the first time, the new Hybrid power system from Niftylift allows us to have machines that can work 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week, whilst also helping to reduce our carbon foot print. The HR12’s and narrow 15 and 17 metre machines are extremely popular and we have to add to our fleet to keep up with customer demand.”

Clements recently employed Ian Burton as business development manager as part of a more aggressive drive forward in the powered access sector of the company’s business.
