The new lifts are also equipped with a Remote Access Response System (RARS) which allows technicians to trouble shoot any issues remotely anywhere in Australia within the mobile phone network coverage. The Engineer can conduct a full fault check on the machine, check the recent movements in case of a safety breach or unsafe work practices by the operator. A wireless camera is also fitted in the cab, allowing the technician can also see for themselves what is happening. ACM says that this allows a majority of service problems to be addressed directly from its Victoria headquarters.

Boom Sherrin said: “As part of the decision making process the company was looking for quality, reliability and equipment with a proven track record that can handle the rigours of the harsh Australian environment with a focus to maintaining Boom Sherrins reputation as the safest and leading man-lifting solutions provider in Australia.”
