Easi UpLifts the Irish headquartered Access, telehandler and industrial crane rental company has told Vertikal.Net that it has taken the decision to press ahead with a new location in the south of England.

The Southern location will concentrate on speciality equipment including large self propelled booms, of 80ft and above, and niche products such as its fleet of 42 metre tracked Falck-Schmidt Falcons and track mounted Aichi booms.

John Ball of Easi-UpLifts told us that it plans to make its large inventory of new big booms and speciality access equipment available to other rental companies on a re-hire basis. providing a service that allows local renters to offer such equipment without the need to invest in such specialised machines.

The company also hopes to step up its sales operation which is now offering used equipment as young as 2004. With plans to sell over 500 used lifts from its fleet this year it has plenty of availability.

Easi-Uplifts has appointed an agent to find a suitable property and is currently recruiting staff to manage the operation.
