First Russian Oil & Steels

Russian distributor Vertex and partner ST Nizhegorodets have completed their first locally mounted Oil & Steel truck mounted lifts.

Vertex agreed a partnership in principle with Oil & Steel to mount its aerial lifts on local vehicles back in 2012. The manufacturer then followed up with a visit to the ST Nizhegorodets production facilities in Nizhny Novgorod. The manufacturer approved the plant in terms of capacity and quality systems in place at the facility.
