CMC appoints UK dealer

Italian truck mounted and spider lift manufacturer CMC has appointed Ranger Equipment as its UK dealer for spider lifts. Ranger Equipment was the UK distributor for Teupen spider platforms until the agreement was terminated in July this year after seven years.

“We have been looking at various spider manufacturers to distribute in the UK and was particularly impressed with CMC,” said managing director Steve Hadfield. “Teupen was strong with spiders over 23 metres but below that the Italian manufacturers have dominated in the UK.”

Ranger has had three CMC spiders – two 15 metre and one 24 metre – in its rental fleet over the last four months and has been very pleased with their performance and reliability. The company says that it will be adding a 15 metre and a 19 metre unit as demonstration machines in the near future as well as a 32 metre spider next spring.

Ranger Equipment has also appointed Niall Ingleby as sales and rental manager for the south. Ingleby has many years’ experience in the access industry working for the Claude Fenton group for the last 10 years.
