Managing director Pete Wajner said: "The tracked spider lift market has developed greatly over recent years, mainly due to the manufacturers developing machine capabilities, such as increased reach heights and outreach, whilst still maintaining low weight machines and narrow, compact designs."

"This makes them extremely versatile as they can be used in indoor applications and on delicate flooring. Other important developments include remote control maneuvering, memory functions and self leveling outrigger set up systems. As a result of this increased versatility, we have seen an increase in demand across the AFI group customer base."
