Faresin trio for L Lynch

UK rental company L Lynch Plant Hire & Haulage has purchased three 17 metre/4,500kg Faresin 17.45 Full Electric telehandlers.

The three machines, supplied through local distributor GGR, have been ordered to fulfil two long term rental contracts. The 17.45 Full Electric was unveiled at Bauma last October and follows on from the success of the first unit the six metre/2,650kg 6.26 Full Electric launched at Bauma 2019.

The Faresin 17.45 electric

Paul Caruana, group buyer at Lynch said: “The Faresin product is leading the way in the electric telehandler arena, and we are delighted to be on board as the first wave of customers for the new 17 metre electric model. As a pioneer of eco-friendly innovation, you have to be prepared to try out new products. Getting feedback from our own customers and working with manufacturers and dealers to develop and make improvements is all part of the process. Green is a trend, sustainability is a mindset.”

Chris Gill of Lynch added: “We are very excited about this new wave of innovative electric-driven equipment. The Faresin product has built up a reputation for being the leading electric telehandler on the market at their moment, with their six metre model. We see bigger market potential for larger electric telehandler models, so it makes sense to make a commitment to add them to our fleet. The new machines will be a complimentary addition to our increasingly environmentally friendly hire fleet.”

Gareth Baxendale of GGR said: “Lynch are coming on board at a very exciting time and there has been an exceptional amount of interest in these products from across the industry in recent weeks. Where there used to be a sense of novelty with electric telehandlers in the past, it has now been replaced with customers who know the technology is proven and want to put the units into major projects.”
“We appear to have found ourselves in the middle of the electric/hydrogen debate, where there is a common misconception that electric, or battery power is only suitable for smaller equipment. Not only is this incorrect, but the hydrogen alternative is also some way off being commercially viable, so the here and now is electric.”
