The Platform Company says that it anticipates a strong take up of the new telehandler fleet from existing customers seeking to benefit from the convenience of using a single reliable source. In fact it already provides the service, via re-hiring, to a number of key accounts

As part of this move, the company will also offer CITB recognised telehandler operator training courses through its existing training operation.

The Platform Company sales director Lee Perry said, “By consistently developing innovations such as onboard power generators and the much acclaimed 4-in-1 harness system, our customers trust us to provide added convenience. Building on these core strengths, telehandlers are a natural fit in our business, providing busy site managers with what they really need – the right piece of kit for the job, backed up with reliability, service and efficient collection and delivery, in fact the complete site package.”
