500 Sinobooms for Ban Ngai

Malaysian, International rental company Ban Ngai has placed an order for around 500 aerial work platforms, with Chinese manufacturer Sinoboom. The order, said to be worth in the region of $30 million, includes a large number of boom lifts, mostly mid to high reach models, many of them high specification electric or hybrid machines with full telematics. All of which is reflected in the total value of the deal.

The contract also calls for the two companies to expand their ‘strategic partnership’. While details on this are a little vague, the announcement says: “It further reinforces the foundation of mutual trust and product alignment between our two companies, and lays a solid foundation for Ban Ngai’s global expansion strategy, including its existing operations in Nigeria and further planned outposts in Africa.”

The company has plans to expand its rental fleet to around 5,000 machines by the start of next year and 8,500 units by 2030, with the aim of being the regional market leader.

Ban Ngai was established in 1965 as a machine shop producing screws, shafts and other items. It is based in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia, which is around 40km southwest of Kuala Lumpur, and just 10km from Port Klang. It runs a fleet of around 3,300 aerial lifts, 400 forklifts, as well as pallet trucks from three locations with depots in Penang to cover the north and Johor to serve the south of the country.

It also operates from three locations in Thailand, two in Indonesia, one in the Philippines, while also working in China and Nigeria, with plans to enter the rental markets of Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Vietnam and Singapore within the near to medium term.

Ban Ngaio managing director Joe-U Ong said: “Ban Ngai strongly values expertise and innovation, and has found in Sinoboom a trusted provider of high quality products and services that deliver real added value to both our business and our customers. This partnership will support our expansion into new markets while advancing our long-term goal of building a globally leading rental business.”

Sinoboom chief executive Susan Xu added: “Since the beginning of the cooperation between Ban Ngai and Sinoboom, we have recognised that Ban Ngai’s development vision and entrepreneurial spirit are strongly aligned with Sinoboom’s. As kindred spirits, we are glad and honoured to be embarking on this next chapter together.”
