Active orders Nifty

Scottish rental company Active Access of Glasgow used last week’s Vertikal Days for a serious shopping spree.

Starting out on the Niftylift stand the company placed orders worth almost £500,000 for 17 metre HR17 and 21 metre HR21 hybrid self-propelled boom lifts, along with one of the first of Niftylift’s new 28 metre HR28 Hybrid boom lifts due for production in early 2013.

Active’s managing director Andrew McCusker said: “This purchase underpins our commitment to our Social and Environmental initiatives which incorporate our five year delivery charter with the clear objective of being the most carbon friendly access rental operation."

"The submission of this order signals a purchasing trend which demonstrates Active’s commitment towards achieving this goal, helped by the Nifty product which offers a greatly reduced environmental footprint. We will also be the first to make this equipment available to the Scottish market”.

Next stop was the AFI/WorkZone stand where the company became one of many regional rental companies at the show to come out in favour of the SanctuaryZone for its retrofit crush protection solution for its non Niftylift booms*.

McCusker said: “Personal safety should never be exclusive to one particular hire firm’s clients as some would like it. The inspirational precedent which WorkZone has set, developing a supplementary safety product for others to adopt has to be applauded. We will be offering the protection system as a chargeable ancillary hire item to our grateful customers”.
