Richard Miller Nationwide Platforms' executive director – sales said: "The latest wave of equipment to enter the business mainly represents a selection of core models that are greatly in demand from our customers. As a business we know that many of the benefits of our investment will therefore be passed on to a very broad customer base working across many industry sectors.”

"Over the year we've seen around 14 percent of our fleet replaced with new models, as well as the introduction of some new equipment, such as the HAB scissor lifts from Germany. Overall this means we can pass on even greater quality to our customers and can continually ensure that we meet our target to go beyond the expectations of a market leader."
