Big-5 PMV

The Big-5 PMV show opened this week to poor visitor numbers most likely caused by the split location, with the Big-5 show being held at the world trade centre and the new PMV section for equipment held at the Airport Expo exhibition centre.

It displayed two compact truck mount telescopic booms and a 19ft elevator scissor lift, however the prices that it is currently looking for rule out any possible success.
