New Hinowas for GTAccess

UK rental company GTAccess has taken delivery of the first 15.4 metre Hinowa Lightlift 15.70 spider lifts in the UK.

The fourth model in Hinowa’s Lightlift Performance IIIS range, the 15.70 provides an outreach of 6.6 metres at up and over heights of up to 10 metres, and has a platform capacity of 230kg.

Its low ground pressure and non-marking tracks makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor work. The new units supplied by Hinowa distributor APS will replace some of the older Hinowa 14 metre tracked spider lifts.

Sales manager Steve Moody said: “We are proud to be the first UK hire company to offer its clients the new Hinowa 15.70. This investment is part of our continued expansion into specialist access platforms. With a Hinowa fleet providing maximum working heights from 15 metres to 26 metres, we are able to fulfil most requirements from our customer base. Being on large rubber tracks, the point loadings generated by these machines are dramatically lower than conventional wheeled machines, so the risk of damaging sensitive surfaces is greatly reduced. We really like the user-friendly controls on the Lightlift Performance IIIS series and control system is also more robust than on the older Hinowa models. So investing in the 15.70s also ensures that we have a common control system across our Hinowa fleet.”
