Light Hire expanding

Light Hire, the Exeter based access rental company, is now expanding its fleet following the sale of its general rental business to Brandon last November. See Vertikal.Net Nov 1 2005
The company is now moving up to larger lifts with the purchase of several new Genie Z45/25J's along with a 26 tonne Volvo beavertail truck to transport the heavier machines it is adding to its fleet.

Until now the only boom lifts in the company’s fleet above 13 metres were 22 metre truck mounts and a Pioneer AD17T dumper chassis mount.

The company operates a wide range of lifts for the local market in the south west, including Nifty Height Riders, Trailer lifts, Hinowa mini spider lifts and JLG and Genie scissor lifts up to 38 ft. The average age of its fleet is now down to 2.6 years.

"The expansion of the fleet in response to customer demand, will help us to create new market
opportunities in areas other than the industrial market which forms our main customer base." said Brian Light, managing director.
