Lion lift produce compact truck mounted lifts under the Galaxy brand

The new venture will both hire and sell the Lion lift range, which includes truck mounted boom lifts from 14 to 22 metres all on 3.5 tonne chassis and crawler mounted boom lifts from 12 metres up. The company recently introduced a 15 metre model which is the first unit to go into the IJ access fleet.

Mike Jones, told Vertikal..Net that the two partners had decided on Lion lift after looking at a number of crawler mounted producers, he said “We liked the young team that they have and the quality they build in. Having visited the factory and operated the products, we liked the rigid, reassuring “feel” in the cage and the way that they put them together”
