Blade expands at the top end

Blade Access Hire of Bradford, Yorkshire, has added a new 58 metre Wumag WT580 to its fleet of truck mounted aerial work platforms.

The company, which emerged from a high end window cleaning service, purchased the new lift following customer demand for larger units with strong outreach.

The new Wumag WT58 for Blade

With an increasing number of new high rise buildings having restricted access, its customers were looking for good outreach at greater heights. The Wumag offers up to 36 metres outreach, and up to 400kgs of lift capacity.

The Wumag WT580 demonstrates is long outreach

Blade has a range of truck mounted lifts, including units from Bronto, Wumag, Skyking and Ruthmann, with working heights from 22 to 62 metres.

Mark Bell, the Co-founder of Blade Access Hire says he is delighted with the new machine and said: "Early feedback from our existing clients suggests the machine is out-performing expectations on a regular basis."

"The Wumag WT 580 has not only strengthened the range of Truck Mount Access Platforms we can offer to our clients both old and new, but enables us to meet the increased demands in the ever changing access hire market. Due to the initial success of the Wumag WT 580, we are now planning the introduction of further machines to service the "higher" end of the market.”
