Vertikal Comment

We hope to have a few more details on these exciting new products next week, the SJ4740 joins a growing market for this type of lift, initiated by Iteco some years ago and taken mass market by Haulotte a few years later. Genie launched its product the GS4047 initially for the European market, but such was the interest the machine, it introduced an Ansi version last year.

It is a market that is growing in popularity and Skyjack ought to bring an extra dynamism to it taking the concept into an even wider range of rental companies.
