Nanos to Switzerland

Power Tower has sold the first of its recently launched Nano, push around lifts to Switzerland. The company secured a new order at this week’s Platformer Days, from its Swiss distributor, Feresta which was appointed in January.

In the eight months since then the Power Tower has sold well, with one client - Co-op Bau & Hobby a DIY chain, Switzerland’s second largest retailer - taking delivery of 30 units so far for maintenance and display work in its stores.

The sales success has been spurred on by a change of regulations in Switzerland, which is bringing and end to the use of forklift mounted baskets for such work.

Feresta is a specialised access solutions sales company based in Schübelbach, near Zurich, the company employs six people and offers a wide range of products, including ladders, scaffold, steps and aerial work platforms. Products it offers include the Bravi Leonardo and Haulotte Star series of mast booms.

The company see the Nano as building on the success of the original power tower. Offering 3.5 or 4.5 metre working heights in an even more compact base.
