Quick Reach managing director, Rob Dillon said “The latest zero emission machines add extra choice to our growing electric powered lift range., We are especially pleased to be one of the first hirers to be able offer the ‘Super Deck’ configuration. The feedback on the Sinoboom products we have introduced thus far has been first class”.
Ultimate Access Hire co-founder Amarpal Gill said: ”These larger, 5389RE scissor lifts, have been acquired from the demand generated by the existing Sinoboom products in the fleet.

With site charging infrastructure improving, they are the ideal solution for urban projects, when working in city centres within clean air zones”.
JMS Powered Access managing director Mark Jackson added: “This is the first Sinoboom machine we have taken for the fleet. We were attracted its ease of operation, battery charge versus run times in addition to the ‘Super Deck’ and immediate availability of the product, which is now out on hire”.
