Versalift adds dealer for Spain/Portugal

Time Versalift has appointed Versalift Ibérica as its exclusive distributor in Spain and Portugal effective 1st May.

Versalift Ibérica is a newly formed subsidiary of Talleres Robles, a family owned company specialising in industrial vehicle and truck modifications, including Meiller tippers, rail drive systems, cranes and quick shift systems for trucks.

The new company will offer the entire range of Versalift work platforms, but will initially focus on 3.5 tonne vans, trucks and pick-ups. It will also assemble and install/mount Versalift platform kits to locally sourced vehicles at its facility in Léon, Spain as well as handle all after-sales service and support in the region from its 10 service facilities in Spain.

The move follows the cancellation of its previous distributor, Time France at the start of April, after it moved it launched its own five model range of van mounted lifts under the Klubb brand. And comes on the heels of the formation of a new wholly-owned Time-Verslift distribution company in France.
