Vertikal Comment

There are a number of 22 to 24 metre compact tracked spider lifts ready for launch at Bauma, all following success of the 23 metre Hinowa and looking to win some of the business previously reserved for the large spider manufacturers such as Teupen.

One thing is for sure, all of these new products will have a significant impact on the size of this sector of the spider lift market. It is also likely to bring prices thanks to the extra competition. Bluelift is a low volume high quality producer and is likely to have its sights set on Teupen rather than its Italian compatriots.
