The fourth model in Hinowa’s Lightlift Performance IIIS range, the 15.70 has an overall width of 780mm, a length of 4.02 metres - 3.4 metres with the platform – removed, and a stowed height of just under two metres. It is the first model of its kind on the Isle of Wight, and was purchased from Access Platform Sales (APS), the exclusive UK distributor for Hinowa.

Managing director Brian Barclay said: “Everyone who has hired the machine has absolutely loved it. The controls are intuitive so it’s easy to use and it’s a very lightweight, compact machine. It is very versatile and that is reflected in our customer base so far – everything from working on building fascia to servicing the navigation lighting at the end of Ryde Pier.”

Based in Niton, Wight Access Hire is a division of Wight Generators, and supplies a range of powered access platforms across the Isle of Wight. The new Hinowa joins a growing access fleet that includes Niftylift towable booms and Genie electric scissor lifts.
