South African access industry veteran George Landsberg has invested in Kwick Access Rentals and taken the post of chairman.
Kwick Access was established in 2015 as South Africa’s first female owned and operated access rental business and is based in Randburg on the north west edge of Johannesburg. It is operated by Stephanie and Andre Erasmus, with a fleet that includes, booms, scissor lifts, trailer and spider lifts, as well as low level access equipment.
One of the company’s priorities since the start has been to run as sustainable a business as possible and as a result the vast majority of its units are either all electric or hybrid powered.
