Able Equipment, based in Deer Park New York, has been expanding its spider lift rental fleet in recent years. The new model is its seventh Falcon, it also has a number of 18 and 22 metre Bluelift spider lifts in its fleet. The company which operates a large specialist access division, also runs a fleet of Maeda spider cranes.

Able Equipment owner Steve Laganas said: ““ReachMaster lifts are one of my best niche items, they have tremendous Return On Investment, and I’m renting them not just regionally, but nationally. We can see the growing demand for access applications that require significant working heights yet have extreme size and weight restrictions.”

ReachMaster president Ebbe Christensen added: “Both Steve Laganas and Able Equipment exude innovation and are constantly looking outside of the box to serve their customers at the highest levels and compete in the market not just today, but for many years to come. We are very grateful for their partnership and support of ReachMaster over the years.”
