Mark van Oosten has sold his 50 percent share in Omega lift to Leen Stehouwer, his partner and owner of manufacturer HTN.

Omega lift was established two and a half years ago to sell a standard range of crawler mounted scissor lifts. More recently the company launched a small range of very high, very narrow heavy duty wheeled scissor lifts. In doing so running into direct competition with Holland lift, which has in the past sourced crawler undercarriages from HTN.
