The new order includes GS-5390 RT’s, one of which is putting the finishing touches to the cladding on the new IKEA warehouse at Armthorpe, Doncaster.

While some units will be replacements, the order will add to The Platform Company’s 2,000 strong fleet, with machines going straight into the eight branches around the UK, including the recently enlarged and relocated Newcastle depot.

Lee Perry, Platform Company Sales Director says, “The new machines will increase our availability throughout the UK, adding to a complete working at height package that we offer. We chose Genie because they were simply the best for the job, they deliver the reliability and specification that our customers need.”
