Weighing 3,350kg, it has an overall width of 990mm, an overall length of just under five metres - with platform removed - and an overall height of two metres.

City Wide’s new Bluelift B85 spider lift

John Fennel of City Wide said: “We had originally hoped it would have arrived a little earlier, but we obviously understand that Covid-19 has impacted production everywhere. So, when we had confirmation the unit was in this morning, we went on the road for the four hour drive while Ruthmann Reachmaster guys performed their tests and PDI of the unit. That way we will have it out on its first job as soon as possible!”

Robert Parkerson, Ruthmann Reachmaster service manager, added: “We actually had two containers arrive with lifts today from Italy and by the end of the day both units were already out the door. We normally have at least a few days to test and PDI units, but thanks to great efforts at the factory in Italy to catch up, we are trying to turn the units around as quickly as we can.”

Based in Dallas, Texas, City Wide provides commercial cleaning and maintenance services throughout the state. The company also offers a small fleet of spider and scissor lifts for rent.
