UK rental show

This year’s Executive Hire Show - the UK’s tool and general rental exhibition - was held at the Coventry Building Society Arena earlier his week. While it was generally busy, there was a distinct lack of access and lifting related products on show. However, those that were there did have some interesting products to discuss.

These included the launch of Axolift’s first self-propelled scissor lift, the 9.8ft P300T with a working height of 4.95 metres, platform capacity of 240kg and an overall weight of 430kg. Features include a battery charge indicator, forklift pockets and 35 percent gradeability. It can also switch between push-around and self-propelled modes. The 24 volt battery is said to provide up to eight hours of continuous operation.
