Plant and powered access hire specialist, FGS Plant, has placed its biggest ever order for access platforms, investing over £2million in a range of LGMG scissor lifts and boom lifts.
Access Platform Sales, the UK and Ireland distributor for LGMG, is delivering the platforms in two tranches, the first in August and September 2022, and the remaincder in early 2023.
The platforms are to be shared between FGS Plant's fleet, based at its HQ in Aylesford, and its access rental business, Hire Access Platforms, in Poole, Dorset.
"When we looked at LGMG, the quality of the platforms was very good indeed, their specification is excellent and APS can guarantee fast delivery with a deal that made the best commercial sense," said FGS Managing Director Stuart Willy.
While Dave Solomon, director of Hire Access Platforms added: "LGMG platforms offer an excellent package with strong options across its product range, and we're confident we'll get equally strong after sales back-up from APS.
"We see it as a very good one-stop-shop solution to build our platform fleet and continue to offer our customers the quality and service we've built our reputation on as a business."
The scissor lifts that APS is supplying are:
- LGMG ASA0607WE with a 7.8m working height;
- LGMG SR0818D, with a 9.7m working height;
- LGMG AS0812E, with a 10m working height;
- LGMG SR1018D with a 11.7m working height;
- LGMG SR1218D, with a 13.9m working height;
- LGMG AS1212E, with a 14m working height;
- LGMG SR1323D, with a 15m working height;
- and LGMG SR1623D, with an 18m working height.
The boom lifts provided include the:
- LGMG AR14J with a 16.09m working height and 7.67m reach;
- LGMG T20J, the first 20m telescopic booms to be taken into both the FGS Plant and Hire Access Platforms fleets, with a 21.7m working height and 17.2m reach.
Hire Access Platforms is also taking two of the new BoSS PA-lift push around scissor lifts, which have a working height of 5.4m.
"We're very much looking forward to introducing the new LGMG platforms to our customers. In fact, the first machines delivered by APS went directly to a customer on a highway project," continued Stuart.
"I'm confident they'll provide continuity in terms of the quality of platforms expected of us, combined with enhanced performance, with improved features, such as smart diagnostic systems that will maximise utilisation."
