Leading manufacturer of vehicle-mounted platforms Versalift has delivered 10 new ETM36-F platforms to Loxam UK with more units to be delivered before the end of the year.

The 3.5 tonne GVW platforms are mounted on to Ford Transits and feature a working height of 13m, an outreach of 7.3m, a 110o flyboom and a payload of 210kg.

The vehicles also feature zero knuckle tail swing outside the mirrors of the vehicle for improved safety while working at the road-side and are fully type approved.

Darrel Voce, Technical Manager for Loxam UK, selected the ETM36-F after the driving licence changes issued in 1997 restricted people with a standard car licence to only drive vehicles up to 3.5 tonne GVW. Loxam UK's 11 branch network will offer the ETM36-F on short-term rental or mini-lease agreements from one to three years.

Andy Bray, Sales Director of Versalift UK said: 'The new generation ETM36-F delivers significant benefits to the end user. Compounded with our significant investment in parts availability and national after sales support, Versalift is in a strong position to support Loxam UK to achieve strong utilisation and minimise down-time.'
